But I'm pretty sure that Jon was at the same shows you were, plus a few; so he would have been fully aware of when people took beer/bathroom breaks, and that they were going to be singing a lot of songs from an unreleased album, before he told Richie he could sing songs from AOTL and continue promoting his album on the BWC tour. Not to mention the fact, also previously discussed, that lulls in the show or people taking breaks has never stopped Jon from doing any song that he wanted to do.

Jon doing a song he wants to do that tanks creates a lull, Jon leaving the stage creates people flat out leaving for a bit. While both are bad, one is worse. I'm obviously not saying that 100 percent played into the decision.
My brain is foggy sometimes, do we have some interview with Jon saying Richie was going to sing his new songs on the tour? I know there was the one that Richie gave. It feels like we're treating this like they had an agreement where they'd tour earlier than expected in exchange for him promoting his album on tour and I don't know where it's coming from.
