Before had break, if Jon is in need of work, he can do on a solo album. The rest of the band can live the life their own way too, and not just the life of Jon and their damn visions.

6 albums, 6 tours, it's a shame that all projects (members of band) have to stop because the CEO wants to make another record. He has to do his solo stuff, this band is adding too many mediocre albums by this constant Jon's work ethic. The spark has been lost with this damn process.

I can not blame both Richie, he has gone through hell personally, and has been in the band yet, now found himself with his new solo album, and it seems that does not matter and he can be trampled and forgotten because Jon projects come first, after having spent 10 years of continuous records/touring, bleeding for the cause, ....and in the end of day, Phil is the Hero. Why?. Jon is as responsible for the abandonment of Richie as himself, but that does not matter because Jon are every day on stage.

This sucks, Jon is so full of shit like Richie. But it is easy to pick a winner in this situation, right?

You don't get it. If Richie had said, right from the start, that he didn't want to be part of the BWC tour, it would have been totally fine. No problem at all. No one could blame him.

But he didn't do that, did he? He agreed to tour, but didn't keep his commitment therefore knowingly screwing over BJ's global fan base. That's why people are so disappointed in him.

There have been two extended breaks before, namely before KTF and before Crush.

Aloha !

You claim others see everything with Jon coloured glasses while the only person in this topic refusing to see things in any other way than with a positive outcome for Richie is you. By now everyone's started to understand that Richie himself is responsible for every ****ed up situation he's ever been in, but you. It's about time you open your eyes and realize your hero just isn't the hero you think he is.

richie sure has ****ed up. i wouldnt give him 100% of the blame but david and tico obviously believe jon is right. imo jon has made many mistakes as well, and there are more things behind this fight than jon and richie confess....
nevertheless i cant enjoy bj without richie...i ve traveled to hyde park, i watched every high quality bootleg from the tour, for me its just sad...bj where always jon-centric but now they arent even a band in my eyes. i hope they work it out cause i simply cant accept that richie will leave for good and phil and bobby will be AS GOOD...
time is a healer, after the tour i hope they will see things differently

It's Richie saying he texted Jon yesterday, all is good, won't go back on tour because the tour is almost over but will do some shows in Australia in January. Which clearly is the right way to announce things. It's so obvious the man is hiding something. :|

I dont buy it. Richie's blahzay answering clearly indicates he is full of absolute bullshit. He's definitely hiding something and obviously feeling very uncomfortable. The man's a shit liar

Richie came across like a real dick in that clip.
