Yup, pretty much this! If they wrap the band up without bringing Richie back for at least the final run, then what a joke! I can easily see this being 40 years and out. Jon is done.

To be fair the last footage we saw of Richie was at the Barnstable Brown Gala earlier this year and vocally he sounded better than he has in a long time. I think this this is vocally very strong.

In my opinion adding him to a Bon Jovi show would potentially elevate it enough vocally to make it enjoyable. People forget just how much Richie sang in the band and backed up Jon. Jon would make sure that they were well rehearsed, which is where Richie often falls flat with his solo stuff, and Phil (or Shanks) would be kept on hand too, I'm sure.
