Pretty much yep. I mean at this point it's beating a dead horse but if he either said Go without me before tickets went on sale or left after the tour, no one would have real beef with it.

Here's a very recent interview with Bruce Foster in which he also shares his views of his "little brothers" band and the problems. Listen from 21:29 onwards.

Ice

Thanks so much for posting this link, Iceman. Kinda paints our boy in a different light, doesn't it? And this from someone who knows the man personally and has talked with him about the situation.

Will Richie make this (alleged) gig? I cant translate but apparently/allegedly a Nov Jovi concert in Brazil? I find this really hard to believe...wishful thinking on the promoter's end or whatever.

Yeah, here in Brazil they're talking about Nov 6 or 7. They're the same promoter's that brought Elton John and Paul Mcartney. I don't think that's a troll thing, but we have to wait and see.

On Twitter Matt has already denied these rumors.

I guess Richie thinks the world should stop spinning if he wants to get off for a while. Screw everyone else.

Did we read the same article? Where did he say, or even imply that?

Where he blatently said the tour should have stopped when he decided it wasn't something he felt like doing anymore, the whole real coke thing. Nice jab too about the Rolling Stones knowing that Jon uses them as the bar that has been set for longevity in the business.

He took a shot at Jon for continuing the tour he left last minute. How did you take it?
