Not sure if this has been said, Matt's twitter says Richie not leaving and he and Jon not fighting. Calls TMZ article "total shit."

Matt is total shit and more full of it than TMZ. I don't trust him any more than TMZ or the hobo outside my house.

They should've took a break until 2014 and all of this would have been avoided.

That's the emoji of a teenager reading her @ replies full of tweets from Bon Jovi fans :rolleyes:

People need to leave the kid alone and let her social network with her FRIENDS. Fans who follow her on twitter need to reel their fandom in. It's pathetic.

What if the hobo outside your house IS TMZ?

I am confident the Matt tweet means there is nothing to worry about in terms of him leaving.

Exactly, I'm sure the last thing she wants is to be dealing with her dad's crazy fans.

Anyone else think it's a bit weird that Bonjovi.com has a link to this story?

As the saying goes, the silence is deafening.

It's not just Bon Jovi- other bands, musicians, sports teams- they always talk about the fans being so important, yet those same fans always get left in the dark when something happens.
We don't need to know everything, but surely we should be given a little more detail? Enough to set our minds at ease, and let those contemplating refunds make a more informed decision.

Thing is, people have invested a lot in this band and I'm not talking just money. I've loved this band since I was a kid, grew up idolising them. Richie was (still is!) my hero. Most of us are here because we care in one way or another, and we've put in enough to deserve something of an explanation. If its family, fine, that's all they need to tell us, but give us a little clarity to where the band and us fans stand.

Probably trying to get us to talk about something else other than Richie. lol

Not necessarily for any single member of the band. Richie might be making in that region(esp. £). Surely, Jon would take a significant and a large chunk would go to the crew/ production etc. Doesn't the band actually play for $ 1 Mil/ night? Thinking that Richie might make about 15% of that isn't that far off.

Anyway, completely beside the point. This is not the reason why Richie would have left (even if it's just temporary). And again, I am not sure I understand why people get so worked up about this. He'll come back eventually, the old bastard!
