Yes, but we´ve gotta take into account that the label Richie´s album will be released has nothing to do with Jovi´s label, so I think it wouldn´t be an inconvenient for Jovi´s being released in early 2013 despite Richie´s releasing and promotion. Universal will think: "OK, Richie, you release your album out of us, and we won´t try to disturb your promoting it,...but we have our times, and first semester, 2013 is the releasing period for band´s album, you like it or not"

Will Richie have enough success to even try to go on his own career? It´s obviously unlikely but not impossible. Should it be true, what would future have in hands for Bon Jovi?

Greetings.
