I shall keep an eye out for this news on Backstage, thanks for the info Terri. I'll happily go to London for the day and get my refund

For the moved NMS date, yes, Ticketmaster is offering refunds. But, they haven't said that Richie won't be around for the US stadium dates, at least, not yet.

Well after that news I think we all deserve some sort of explanation WTF is going on, If he has left, then announce it and we can all come to terms with it........although I will be going to Manchester, I feel very let down by the whole situation, It was always a part of what endeared me to the band for the last 28 years that they played it fair to the fans. If he has walked then im my eyes Richie has let us all down by starting the bloody tour then quitting.......Im gutted and I dont know about you guys, but I find it hard even to listen to Sambora or Bon jovi tunes at the moment.
I bet Jon is furious at this situation but why he cant announce what is going on to the fans, the very people that finance his/their empire, is nothing short of deplorable!!!!!

Now Jon's brother says on twitter:

"Richie is still in band. It's not money it's not ego it's truly personal for him. He will be back in time. Support with love"

''@MatthewBongiovi: Richie is still in band. It's not money it's not ego it's truly personal for him. He will be back in time. Support with love''

I swear I really don't know if I should believe this man. He's probably just doing damage control.

If it's personal then why the hell can't Richie himself say ''I am still in the band''?

How the **** can he be back in time when he's missing out on 3 legs of the tour? I doubt Matt confirming it's a money issue as well. I fixed the tweet.

Salaam Aleikum,

Oh bullshit.

It's all about the money. Matt's money that he gets by being Jon's lap dog. If the tour is cancelled, he makes no money. He's just covering his own ass.

If Richie is TRULY in the band still, then it's time to man up, stop with this unprofessional bullshit, and tell the fans what the hell is going on.
