No Richie on current leg of the tour

LMFAO!!! This and the 'Bruce taking on Sambongo' made going to work hungover so much better

I tried, but it's harder than I thought. It's a conversation between Jon and Dorothea:

Jonny,
This ain't a tour for the drug-addicted
Your wingman Richie's a mess in that way
I ain't gonna be just a face in the house
You're gonna hear my voice
When I start the divorce

[Chorus 1:]
It's my tour
'Cause I'm the CEO
I ain't gonna tour forever
I just want to stay relevant
(It's my tour)
I just can't fire Richie
I need him as a songwriter
If I do it
Fans will get refunds
It's my tour

Sorry but on this I'll stand my ground
He's a bad influence, your daughter almost died
You should go solo, but keep Bobby in your band
Remember, he needs help with his son

[Chorus 2:]
It's my tour
'Cause I'm the CEO
I ain't gonna tour forever
I just want to stay relevant
(It's my tour)
I need Richie as a songwriter
And Bobby he just sucks
On the guitar
I just wanna tour while I have voice
It's my tour

Better stand tall when you're calling him now
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

[Chorus 1:]
It's my tour
'Cause I'm the CEO
I ain't gonna tour forever
I just want to stay relevant
(It's my tour)
I just can't fire Richie
I need him as a songwriter
If I do it
Fans will get refunds
It's my tour

[Chorus 2:]
It's my tour
'Cause I'm the CEO
I ain't gonna tour forever
I just want to stay relevant
(It's my tour)
I need Richie as a songwriter
And Bobby he just sucks
On the guitar
I just wanna tour while I have voice
It's my tour

I hate to add to all of the "fake theories", but what if Richie received some medical news after he returned from his vacation in Hawaii. Maybe a diagnosis that had to receive short term treatment immediately (like radiation?). I am not saying it was life threatening but did have to be taken care of immediately. This possibility fits with:

1. Last minute decision not to join tour- no notice to band
2. No choice in the matter
3. A "personal" issue that only Richie can tell the world about (according to Matt).

Ok. I am ready for all of your "creative" responses. Bring it on....

He is fine and it's nothing to do with the hospital.

lol i love the fact that people get ready for a barrage of abuse when they post there feelings lol..

Aloha !

Alright, while my rendition of Every Road was rendering I had some time to record RonJovi's take on What's Left Of Me. I have to admit I rewrote many lines in the song, some lines didn't flow well and, well, I felt some other things needed to be addressed.

Enjoy. http://www.bonjovi-archives.com/whatsleftofus.mp3

I'm going to Vegas later this week. Do I put my money on Richies in rehab or he quit/fired/pissed at Jon? It's strange that (if its the latter) he hasn't been tweeting, resuming his solo tour, been seen.

"Come on, Bobby", then the solo. Brilliant!

I laughed really hard with that one.

Good one!

I wonder though, how come the vocals resemble Liam (butchering Oasis and Beady Eye tunes live) more than they resemble Jon (butchering Bon Jovi tunes live)?
