Jovitalk - Bon Jovi Fan Community - No Richie on current leg of the tour

Well, I only tweet things of my life and I have more than 1100 followers when I'm only following 137, and I'm not famous, and neither is a "fan" or something like that account, it's my personal one where I talk about what I do. And I care what that 137 people tweet, that's why I follow them. I think it makes sense to have Twitter, being famous or not.

But like it or not, Twitter is dying. Its golden times were 2009-2011. I don't even use it like before.

Twitter isn't dying just yet, it's just changing. I agree that it's 'phenomenon' days are over but it's migrating from an everyday social media tool to a business tool and a news stream.

It's for brands and fans now... and those very strange everyday people who think that they have to release a statement when someone famous dies...

No, there's me too :) I don't give a flying **** about Matt.

Ava looks nice though.

No. I don't follow either of them. Matt comes off as a douche, and frankly I find following Ava for posts about her dad very weird, but that's just me.

Ah, so Richie is out in North Korea then.... no wonder he hasn't tweeted much either. I knew we would get to the bottom of it eventually.

I already called that one earlier in the week - suggested that Obama asked Jon to go negotiate, but he said he didn't want to lose tour money, so Richie went instead.....

The DJ on Absolute Classic rock just played Wanted and at the end of the song said 'Richie Sambora will not be on the rest of the current Bon Jovi tour, but I hope it is all sorted in time for the Isle of Wight festival'. They really need to say something. This station play a lot of Bon Jovi, had a recent interview with Jon and do a lot to promote concert tickets. Statements like this certainly will not help sell UK tour tickets.

Surely if that is the case they should have sent Hugh. He does (allegedly) have the biggest weapon......
