Or why did he said that it was a family drama and he hoped it to be over by september? Or that he couldn't wait to get back to the tour? Sorry, or this guy's bipolar or he's just a liar and wants to get some of his image back.

Then again, the itself was not bad. Just... that guitar.

But yeah, let's use that so the people will go "aww what a sweet dad!" The rest of it, it's nothing he couldn't have known or said before the album/tour cycle began. I read someone post that he wasn't "allowed" to come back in June, if I was Jon I wouldn't let him back either. He leaves and then thinks he can come back whenever it fancies him? This is a commitment, not a hobby, and honestly, I doubt Richie could be that stupid and have that much lack of respect for his band and his job so that has to be made up.....
