Where does it say officially that Richie is back?

I've read threads on this subject stating that Richie is back, but I've yet to find an official announcement.

Since I do not have time to read every thread, on every Bon Jovi site, would one of you, here, be kind enough to help me with the answer to this question?

Thank you.

It isn't officially official yet if you're looking for word from Bon Jovi's camp.

Yeah, either Jon wants it to be a surprise or his PR skills are shit.

I think we can guess which one it is.

Actually, no ^^

There's been no official announcment from the band themselves but Nikki Lund who he is in partnership with on a clothing label tweeted the following earlier in the week:

"Richie said "thank you to all of my fans for your support." He's back everyone!!"

She also went on to say on Facebook that they've been working hard designing new clothing for him to wear on tour. Furthermore Radar Online reported earlier in the week that he attended a memorial day party. I don't think there will be an official announcement but they should arrive in Croatia tomorrow so hopefully snaps will emerge.

I'm guessing if Richie wanted an "official" announcement there would be one. He'll be on stage for the first European show.

Do you mind if I ask you how you get your information regarding this? And, do you mean that he will be on stage for the first European show, only? And, by "on stage" - do you mean as in working?

Thanks!!

The info is from inside sources, of course! In every BJ board there is people that claim to know people, I do too but don't advertise, so answering your questions, Richie will be on the stage (not under) of the very first European show, (as in Europe). Hopefully he will be playing guitar again (not bongos), although as he loves to do it, it's not actually working, just having fun and being paid a ton of dough for it.

J/K - No official announcement anywhere.

Where was the official announcement that he was going to miss some shows?!?!?!

Nikki Lund is posting all over her facebook page that Richie will be back on stage:
