I haven't speculated because nothing ever made much sense.
But now I am going with he was either in danger of or he fell off the wagon and here's why:
His contest.
From the beginning of this tour, he was on fire. In fact, IMO, with Jon's weird (and lack of) movement and lack of energy, Richie carried the show. The day before his last show with the band, Richie was the best I'd ever seen him. It's for this reason, this being alcohol/drug related didn't feel right even though that was always the most likely possibility. Think about it... over 30 years, he's had to have countless spats with Jon, but he'd never missed a show... unless he was in treatment.
Since not showing up to play, he's tweeted 3 times and there has been 1 youtube message -that was clearly written by someone else. For all we know, the tweets came from someone else. Why wouldn't he make that announcement?
Richie's tweets leading up to his "no show" were 1) two strange tweets (given the situation) about Forgiveness St and Easter/born again and 2) he was watching contest entries.
If his departure was because of a fight with Jon, wouldn't keeping his fans be a priority? I understand not commenting much... getting into a tabloid fight wouldn't help anyone BUT I can't think of any reason why he wouldn't keep his commitment, when clearly he was watching the entries until whatever happened happened.
So yeah, it's either alcohol or he's been learning how to make ricin. :p
