Being so harsh to an individual purely on the basis of rumours and speculation is unfair.

Hold on a minute here, im not saying this is purely Richie's fault. At this point i could care less who's fault it is.
BON JOVI is on tour and Richie is an original member and an integral part of why we're on this message board to begin with. Alcohol? a damn shame. Personal "issues"? Not for me to judge. But at this point RS is just fine and playing at a damn horse race. Its a slap in the face to every one that paid to see BON JOVI (the band) in concert.
Not everybody is on these message boards, but casuals that went to a show yesterday went to see the band and say "Where's Richie Sambora?" and wake up today to find out he played at a horse race, alone.
Blame whoever you want for this, in my mind at this point there's no justifiable reason for him to miss this tour. When he was in complete silence that's one thing, this is another. He's clearly fine. When this broke everybody was worried about his health and his family's health.
It's been said before, there's a Bon Jovi world tour going on and he isnt there, unless they give me a damn good reason why its a slap in the face to the fans.
Here are the facts, RS isnt on tour. The band is, and Richie is playing a horse race. Forgive me for being upset.
