No Richie on current leg of the tour

THEY SELL THOSE?

I guess it´s safe to assume that there will be no Richie on the July dates as well.

Just waiting for the "personal reasons" anouncement.

I need to see if this Sambora line is available on eBay. Could probably get it pretty cheap right now.

What's interesting is the part about the "piggyback with Richie" - as far as I understand that word, she's sort of coming along with him, maybe for some shows after all? Weird...

Or they will be there at the same time for different reasons (he could be pushing his fashion line) and so they will hook up to be with Ava. Or he's using a private jet and she's hitching a ride. Hmmmm something different to speculate about. lol

I noticed that, too; it sounds like he's got some obligation and she's going along for fun.

I think most of the regular posters in this thread have only ever posted in this thread.

I think the piggybacking means they will split the time they accompany her in the trip.

This is about the Cleveland debacle (and the Indy debacle as well ... heck, the TOUR debacle in some sense). Interesting that people are picking up on RS being a factor in the band. JBJ may/may not be able to do stadiums by himself but there's a reason he released WAN (essentially a quasi-solo album) and toured as BON JOVI (and not JON BON JOVI).

I think "piggybacking Richie" means that Richie organised the trip and it was originally not planned for Heather to join them, but then she decided to tag along.
