i think this is why he's chewing the gum so much because booze ruins your throat and your range suffers.
there are hundreds of millions of dollars tied up in this tour...is it not the biggest they've done in twenty years or something?
I think until it becomes problematic and he's really making mistakes then the show will go on and even after Bandiera is there to cover his ass.

My thoughts entirely, this all stems from The HAND tour where Richie hurt his arm and took pills and booze to play through the pain. Surely Jon could see what was happening and intervene, but Richie was still functioning so I guess it wasn't a problem in his eyes.
It came to the stage where Richie stopped functioning (Unplugged) but the band weren't on tour. What's it gonna take for someone to realise he's in a bad way. Is Richie gonna have to get in the ol' Humvee and take the kids for an adventure?
I just hope we're wrong and he's okay.
