You also have to remember that's postponing shows will also affect fans. What about the fans that have paid for travel and accommodation in advance?

I think offering fans a refund is the only fair way to go, but they should not be selling new shows under the name Bon Jovi unless they know for sure Richie will be back. One of the packages says you can see Daves keyboards, Richies guitars etc.. well not if he isn't there you won't and you should be offering these things unless you know you can deliver what is promised.

What a knob.

Yeah, that's a very valid point. I know it would piss me off.

I'm not saying they should postpone the shows. I know they're damned if they do, damned if they don't in that scenario. I just wish Jon would act like the leader and tell the fans when, or if, we can expect Richie back. I think he's being a coward by not saying anything.

Is it that unbelievable that Jon doesn't know?

Not knowing "when" might be believable, but he sure as s*** must know "if" he will be back.

Well he did say on the Ellen Show that Sambora was still in the band.



Also did everyone see Bobby itching his nuts on the Ellen Show at 1.40 mark ???

If it truly wasn't his decision for Richie to leave how would he know if he'll be back?

Exactly this. Nothing they or Richie has said so far indicates he has left or will leave the band. Quite the opposite.

People are pissed and want someone to blame.

Yes.

But if he doesn't, a statement other than "Richie Sambora will not be appearing on the next leg of the tour" would be appropriate.
