The reason Richie isn't doing big solo shows, is because there's no demand for it anywhere but Europe, it seems. If he'd do an actual big solo tour, the actual costs per show would go down and he might just make some money with it, or actually break even. It's the handful shows he does in one year that'll cost him money. And with record sales going down the drain and his latest solo album completely tanking everywhere, it wouldn't surprise me if he had to finance his next studio album himself as well. He's probably got enough money to finance the next 4 album cycles himself, but there's just no way he can keep himself occupied with this stuff that no one but a select few die hards seem to care for.
