I hope he's there, but if he's not, I hope the shows go on without him. Too many people have spent too much money for them to cancel/reschedule. At $303 a ticket or $333 a ticket once TM adds in their fees, it would really screw over their fans if they expected them to all be able to just show up again whenever Richie is ready to play. I've personally got nearly $1000 invested in just 2 concert tickets and an airplane ticket. While I want Richie to be there, I'd rather see Bobby or Fred the Fill In than nothing at all. I think the timing will lend itself to his being there though.
