6 years? Nah.thats a bit too long for any band to take a break.
They will be back in 2016 |
Then he shouldn't have done the tour in the first place. If the reason truly is spending time with your daughter then okay but bailing on a tour 3 hours before a show? Come on, that ain't right.

I think he is in a sense putting a LOT of responsibility to his daughter by doing this. Which is both, cowardice and stupid. He's been traveling around jamming with fabric for a lot of the time the tour has been going. If that was the sole reason, he would have limited all promo to the LA region.

I agree there is something more to this than spending time with his daughter.
Perhaps it was the contractual agreement for the tour. Any thoughts on this scenario: Once the tour started, new contracts were signed. Richie didn’t agree with something in the contract and tried to work it out with Jon during the first leg. It could be about more $, how he was getting paid or the request to sing a solo album song or two. As the second leg started, there was still no mutual agreement and Richie walked at the last possible minute. As I recall, Jon was not surprised when he got the call from management that Richie was not showing up as it seemed like something he expected. On stage that night in Calgary, I believe Jon said Richie would be gone for awhile (which makes me think that Jon wasn’t going to cave in to whatever Richie wanted in the contract). Didn’t Richie say once or twice over the summer that he hopes things would be resolved soon. I sure he wants to come back but they can’t agree on terms and at this point in the tour why bother anyway . * |

For all of those whose bitch about Richie traveling the world "jamming with fabric"... he has been off tour 9 months and has actually made very few fashion appearances--a handful at the most. His short trips to Italy and France were a vacation with his daughter. Prior to those trips his tweets were few and far between and there were almost no sightings of Richie anywhere. And now he has made a couple of appearances at horse races in the last week. Big deal. That is far from spending weeks away from home enveloped in the Bon Jovi machine.
I hope he returns to the band but I am at peace with whatever he decides to do. He is a grown man in his 50s. If he wants to be his own person or change directions, maybe it is past time that he give it a go. Most people don't stay on a job no matter how enjoyable or profitable it is for 30+ years. I've seen ordinary people burn out on a job and keep going through the motions to collect a paycheck and it isn't pretty. If you think singing the same set list night after night would be boring for Jon, imagine how much more boring it would be for a backup singer rather than a lead singer. Does his drinking come from the rock and roll lifestyle or from boredom? |
