He sounds fantastic on this. It's interesting that Bernie Taupin is tagged in it, I know he co-wrote Taking a Chance on the Wind with Richie and it certainly has an Elton vibe to it. I'm sure if Elton John had released this today it'd be everywhere.
Bernie cowrote Weathering The Storm.

Jon's in a tough spot. Like others have said, damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. He has a responsibility to play these shows, and doesn't want to Axl Rose them. At the same time, anyone who is too thick to not understand why he would just want to cancel the tour now, who gives a shit what they think?
Shit happens. The band has been very lucky throughout their career that nothing this crazy has ever happened. He should just make a public statement on the band's webpage and on Facebook saying that due to Richie's absence and Tico's health, they're ending things early. It's not fair to the fans that have paid good money to see the whole band and delaying things any more is just not realistic. Thank people for their patience. Let them know they need a break but will be back in a couple of years.
Is there anyone here that wouldn't agree with this?
I totally agree with you but I think hell would have to freeze over before Jon calls an end to this tour.

And I think I have read enough of your posts to suspect you will be as pleased as I am that it is on Richie's You Tube and not someone else. As it should be. Nice tribute.

Yes, you got me figured out. I clicked on the link fearing some TornEye/Lund-Someone account would come up, but nope, it was Richie's official account and I was very relieved!

**** Nikki, really, she can go **** herself. I'm tired of it. Tico is ill, south americans fans are afraid of cancelations and she goes like "oh, go solo Richie! New solo album!". Hope her ugly designs don't sell shit.
