From what I have been reading in these reviews, it looks like this Bon Jovi band is more happier and more together than before. It is obviously clear that Richie was becoming more of a distraction to the band, for whatever reason, I think he was going through some issues that he was not dealing with, especially when he was on the road with the band, he was not ready to go back on the road with Bon Jovi, but went anyway, and then just left because he was not happy. I think in the new Jon interview with The Guardian, it is becoming more clearer that there were issues even before Richie left, exactly what we don't know, but little by little were getting some clues. From judging all the reviews from both NJ and London shows, this band is more focused, happier, and it is showing in their performances, sounding more better than before. Who knows what Richie's reaction is now for the band and the success their having with these shows, its is now clear that both Jon and Richie are in different places now, and the idea of Richie coming back just like that it is hard to see happening anytime soon.
