Did I hear that Richie subbed his last tour..so it could continue?... |
He said himself publicly that the funds were cut during the touring of Stranger and he lost over a million dollars of his own money just to fulfil the commitments he had made to the venues and to everyone else including the band members. I'm not sure about US however that tour was also cut before he got to go to the States and then re-tour Europe as was his intention.
If only he had got together some of his live recordings he could have put together a GREAT live album at the beginning of the 90s and recouped even a little bit of that money, but I guess that just wasn't a viable option.
It's really really sad IMO.
