What if the Hall of Fame comes calling next year? (Would be pretty ironic). Would Richie suddenly reappear? Certainly would be a precarious situation for Jon & RS.

What bothers me is if they go on and Richie DOES eventually come back there'll be this huge fanfare and jacked up ticket prices. Casuals will come back to hear Richie play the hits and there's no way sets will be tailored towards songs they haven't done in a decade.

just a question.. i might have missed this but.. has matt deleted his twitter account ?

Yeah. He could've deleted his life too but...:vamp:

Well, that's kinda' like this tour anyway.

There's an article by "Daily News" denying split reports.

I doubt they will be inducted (very soon). But my guess is that suddenly everything would be fine again paired with fake smiles on that stage.
It would also be interesting to know what this could mean for a possible Halftime show at the Super Bowl in NJ next year. I´d imagine that Jon wants that gig. Maybe just another show with Phil?

is this not a reputable source no? CBS news this morning.


i guess if richie or jon made a statement kool aiders would still deny it.... :rolleyes:

Disagree. If one of them made a statement it would make it official. How often have they commented on the matter and had someone call bull?

EDIT: Just watched the video. They did no fact checking and just linked to the original article (not even the out of the band one, the damn off the tour one). Reputable or not, that's just lazy journalism.

According to NikkiRich's official website, the pair just got back from Las Vegas, where they had dinner with ShopChannel Japan's top executives and where "Richie was the consummate businessman and had our large group mesmerized".
They're back in LA for a few days, and then off to Japan and then mid-west, if that's still in the schedule.

Also, Nikki tweeted this a few hours ago:
"Thank u for all the support & love. @TheRealSambora has the best fans in the world~All I can say is he loves u all~All is good. #happiness x"

And she also tweeted the official video to "Ballad Of Youth".

Finally, the Canadian "Huffington Post" reported on the supposed split, but what's interesting is they also attached screenshots of Matt's tweets denying the rumors.
