I heard that he was with the guys in Calgary and got called away. More likely something to do with family.

I don't think family emergency would cause the band to announce that Richie skips the entire leg right away. Let's wait and see. The worst thing that they can do is not announce the actual reason and leave it with nothing but "personal reasons".

Apparently Jon found out at 3:30pm that Richie would be unavailable...

JBJ words:

“Hey Calgary, I need you more than ever tonight,” he begged. “If you haven’t heard by now . . . I got the phone call at about 3:30 this afternoon. We had two choices; pack up and go home or come up here and give you everything we got.

“Richie isn’t in jail or in the hospital or anything . . . but he won’t be playing anytime soon.”

Hmm... if it is a family issue I dont think Richie will miss more than this leg. If it is a health problem (which I dont think it seems to be), he could miss more depending on how serious it is. If it is a legal issue well then that's a whole other problem in itself.

At the moment, I'm guessing it is a family issue.

It could just be a Neil-Young: he sliced his finger pretty bad making a sandwhich and had to cancel the entire European tour.

But if it was a simple injury, you'd think they'd tell it like it is. I guess all we can do is wait and see.

I'll be at the show tomorrow, so I'll update if I hear anything. Chances are, you will all be on top of it before I am, anyways.

Whomever tweeted a heart attack rumour is ****ed in the head. Not funny.

I dont' think it is health issues with Richie--didn't he tour with a broken shoulder to Japan around the time he and Heather broke up? Plus everyone has been commenting how he great he has been looking and playing-- and he even mentions taking care of himself in interviews.

With regard to family issues--didn't he write, record and tour while his father was dealing with cancer? If it is something that just came up with his daughter, that would be another story as he'd want to be with her.

I hope it is not substance abuse but I have no personal knowledge of dealing with it. Can someone fall off the wagon so quick and so hard that rehab is the only immediate solution? I can't help but wish him the best even though I am very disappointed with regard to my upcoming show (my first show).

It just feels very deja vu given that we went through this pretty much one year ago. Now people will know: in future tours, don't buy any tickets for April/May shows.
