Richie solo show in October

I just received this alert from the Nokia Theater. Just thought I'd throw it on the fire!

Matt said he 'feels Richie will be back at some point in the Summer' in one of his recent twits. I hope I'm not skipping the concert in Lisbon and he decides to step in at the very last minute. Like, 'Hmmm, Portuguese weather is a lot like California.. so I might do that one.. plus they have great booze there'.

I guess you can't rule anything out given that no one knows what the reason for his absence is. I don't believe for a minute he's out of the band. If its a personal reason then he'll be back when he's good and ready. If its a fatigue with the band thing again he'll be back when he's good ready.

It would not surprise me if he came back randomly at an unexpected date and no deal was made about it at all.

He also says that it wouldnt be true that he is not in europe. You know the truth .

Matt posted this in response to someone asking him if he even understood why fans are.pissed:

@irishbucka can you imagine how upset we are that he didn't show up to the first show?

Wow, he really needs to step away from the keyboard. Between this and the "so called fans" comment he is doing a lot of harm.

No problem. :)

Bon Jovi will be in North America around that time:
Oct 25, 2013 - USA - Uncasville - Mohegan Sun

So I guess it wouldn't clash too much. Not exactly a confirmation of anything hence!

I think Richie had said something about that even before the Bon Jovi tour started so I think it was planned out even before he left the tour, don't know if it had exact date yet though...

Hm. This happened a few weeks ago. It was posted the Toronto show was rescheduled for Oct of 2013, literally a year to the day of the cancelled show. This NYC show is the same thing, Oct 23 2012 was the date of the cancelled NYC show. Unless it's a total coincidence I'd chalk this up to someone mixing up the year.

Am confused there was no rescheduled Toronto:confused:
