No Richie on current leg of the tour

I would also like to mention that as you can see, Madison Square Garden is not on the tour schedule as of yet. If Richie has a grand entrance on his mind, this may be his only chance. He cant skip tonight and play Saturday, that would REALLY piss people off. It's both or September.

A great entrance for Richie's return would be to start the show without a guitar player. Few seconds into Bad Name or Water or whatever the opener is, Jon would stop the band and go 'what's going on here, where's the guitar?'

Enter Richie.

[QUOTE=OnceUponADime;1147886]In another of your post, you wrote that Jon and Richie have talked on the phone and now in this recent one you wrote that Jon and Richie had ANOTHER conversation. So judging from your posts, they have been talking on the phone at least 2 times now, Am I correct? So two conversations were had, David knew about both conversations and then told your friend?

1st conversation after Saratoga, Richie flys to NJ, 2nd conversation after his emotional something or other about his father, he did not clarify if it was a phone conversation or if the band got together and talked.
I am so damn confused its not even funny anymore.

I cant see Jon leaving Dave and Tico out of this. These guys have secrets they will take to the grave. We all know that. After 30 years if you cant tell your band mates everything then something is seriously wrong.

How this friend of mine got this information from Dave is a mystery. I didn't ask.

This doesn't mean shit, I know but sound check at the Met. Phil is on stage:

Well either this means Richie isn't back, or they are planning some sort of grand entrance.....I'm starting to lose faith.

I have another thought. Remember when Richie said he would love to be at Hyde Park? As Hyde Park approached, Richie came out and said he wont be there. After all these rumors about MetLife, you would think he would come out and say he wont be at MetLife.

Holy crap did anybody see this? Guess who is winning.

Someone in BJ fan club just posted a sound check pic from today on FB. PhilX was on the stage.

I think the only rumor I have seen about him in NJ is yours. Other message boards have picked up on it and are quoting you. Everything else, like the radar online article, says he won't be there.

There's more chance of Elvis making a comeback tonight than Richie.

SHUT UP!!! You are a freakin liar. As if you have a friend close enough that knows David. Yeah, Jon talks to his band mates but I think his band mates know who they can trust and evidently, your "friend" is not one of them. They have been in the business for 30 years, David is not going to tell a friend of his this information about Jon and Richie.

Unless your friend is the band themselves, Dorothea Bongiovi and anyone from management, you know nothing.

Richie didn't come out and say he wasn't going to be at Hyde Park (he even didn't say that he would love to be there either, that was a story going around) by his own will on twitter. He was at a fashion show and the reporter asked him about Hyde Park. If it wasn't that reporter, no one would have known until the band went on stage.

Phil is on stage, Richie is in LA. End of story.
