As far as I know, Richie smokes too and yet, he can still sing.

Richie does a lot of things, but smokimg is not one of them.

Jon's vocals are mostly poor - he's complimenting that by barely moving? Nobody expects acrobatics. But If you can't sing like a rock star - act like one. Do something.

There you go... Another person living in the past... Reality alert... It's not 1989 anymore, Jon is not 27 years old... He'll be 55 in a few days..

For the record he is shot and certainly cannot sing like he used to.

I'm pretty sure he does, though. Too bad, really :/

People generally don't pray for things they have/ take for granted. Then he commented that the band would tour if everyone was healthy enough to do so.

I believe he's giving all he's got to give.

Two days ago you said that Jon was in a good shape
Two days ago i said that Jon was ill
Now you say that Jon isn't as fit as he looks

Eveline, he doesn't.

He's an alcoholic and a drug addict, but he is not a smoker.

Two days ago I was asked how Jon's voice was and I said "in good shape" with a comparison of the most recent tours and an appreciation for the effort he's made. I also said he didn't sound like he did in 1995. But you conveniently ignore that because it doesn't fit your agenda of picking apart a positive review.

You want to be bitter and bitchy. I want to appreciate what we've got for what it is. The idea that this could be the last tour is depressing, devastating even.

Richie stopped smoking when he's father passed away in lung cancer in 2006. I don't know if he smoked much before that or even anything, but he was quite determined that he would never smoke after that.

Btw, is Jon still smoking?

Living in the past? How? People older than Jon move around more. Why do you mention his age as if it means he's incapable of moving?

Nobody expects him to replicate his younger years. But he's offering next to nothing visually AS WELL as struggling vocally.

Also, I'm pretty sure I've seen you post about how he needs to ditch the grey hair and start looking like a rock star. You're full of contradictions.
