Before last week my answer would have been YES! But now, tbh, I'm not sure Bon Jovi IS saveable. Like Seb, I wouldn't be surprised if Jon has to cancel the rest of the tour at some point. I just don't see how he's going to be able to keep going like this; and I fear he's only doing more damage the longer he pushes it.

If it's just that Jon's pipes are physically shot, Richie can't do a thing. But if it's true that Jon "couldn't sing in the shower" because Richie left, part of the problem is psychological. If Richie's departure caused that, then it stands to reason his return would fix that part of it.

Anxiety seems to be an issue. It's been noted that it helps when Jon's relaxed; but how can he relax when he knows he's butchering songs and not performing at the level he used to? Especially given that he's always said, "When we can't perform at the level we're used to, I'll hang it up." It's a vicious cycle. He knows he sounds bad, so he tightens up, which makes him sound worse, so he tightens up more... People talk about Jon's great mood, or happy smiles and energy, and I wonder if we're watching the same shows. When I see Jon's face, it looks like he's in pain, scared witless, or absorbing sights and sounds as if he's thinking, "Is this the last time I'm gonna get to do this?"

In WWWB, Richie said his job was to keep Jon happy and take some of the load off of him. Jon doesn't like change; and this has been one hella change for him. Getting back to the way things were - or close as possible - might help. Of course, that depends on why Richie left. If it was purely substance abuse, the unreliability factor might only increase Jon's anxiety. If the primary reason was something else, and it could be resolved, then yeah, I think Jon getting his wingman back could go a long way towards saving Jovi.

Bottom line: imo, if anything can save Bon Jovi, it might be Richie coming back. The Rock Hall performance wasn't flawless, by any stretch. But nobody - band or fans - seemed to care. The chemistry was there; and the fun and joy of performing together. Both Jon and Richie looked happier, and seemed to be enjoying themselves more than any time I've seen either of them since April 2013. It was magical. And at this point, I'm afraid the only thing that has a snowball's chance in hell of saving Bon Jovi is a little touch of magic.
