Who made that rule? Methinks he joins other bands backstage and onstage to enjoy himself. Playing music is/should be about enjoying yourself first and foremost. Some still believe in it, some forgot it.

There was a party onstage, most of the other musicians hugged each other too, and the 45,000 spectators seemed to have enjoyed the moment and the karaoke part too so why bitching about a show you guys didn't attend? If Richie wants to play the LOAP solo differently, why not? He's not into a cover band, he doesn't have to play note for note, and if he misses 1 or 2, wtf? it's not classical music, it's only r'n'r!
