Make of this what you will but bear in mind I'm not in the habit of speculating/lying. I have a friend of mine who I meet at various concerts every year. She is a huge Bon Jovi fan (has seen them countless times and has met Jon and Richie) and knows a close associate of Phil X.

By all accounts everyone in the camp has been sworn to secrecy but the Richie situation is "a complete train wreck" and he won't be returning.

She herself has cried at the demise and I am shocked. Like I said, take it as you will but I am not trouble making ... Don't shoot the messenger! She is digging but even this friend is in the dark! I personally will abandon the European Tour this year.
