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.

The problem is, they're saying NOTHING.

They have a tour they need to sell, of course nothing they have said indicates he left.

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

Well I'm assuming Jon knows why Richie has gone, so stands to reason he will know if its something that will stop him coming back. Unless Jon literally knows no more than us, but I find it an unbelievable scenario that the CEO of a mutual-million dollar organisation (friend or not) was happy to accept a vague "personal reasons" as a good enough excuse for throwing his tour into chaos.

Exactly. The cloak and dagger approach is just causing them more issues.

Thank you for the first laugh in about 30 pages! I'm sure Bobby was just "adjusting" something on the back of his guitar.:rolleyes:

This would explain the exasperation, and lack of announcement. If I was Jon I'd be pissed off if this was the case. No wonder they may not be talking.

It's likely the band and management will never make any official statement regarding this affair, expecting Richie to explain, and accept the undoubted ton of flak from disappointed fans. Given that his decision could have been taken at an emotional low point, he may now be recuperating whilst regretting his actions.

The latest announcement regarding refunds, may be a move by the CEO or the promoters, to establish how damaging Richies decision has been to ticket sales. If lawyers are involved they will likely need to quantify the damage done by any non-essential no show on Richies part. Whether Richie alone, or the BJ band as a whole are ultimately financially responsible will be interesting to see.

Thats it, he has had a fecking vesectomy :p To be fair i had one last year and caught infection and was laid up for 2 months, bloody agony. Sambo my sympathy is with you !

I'm sure it'd sound a whole lot of better if he just played with his nuts instead of a guitar. Perhaps then he would go really nuts on the solo in ITA.
