i think its obvious that there is sth wrong with richie and jon, no matter what jon says...the comment about the edge was way out of line, and richies tweet after that where he has so many things to say etc imo showed his frustration.
i also pointed out the fact that jon mentioned his manager didnt even had to finish the sentence...it obviously was sth that had been discussed between them

Thanks, guys! I've been trying to find out because I could only remember The Circle (rehab) and I had heard vaguely about the PR show that followed the Unplugged taping. But the comments I've read seem to portray Richie as unreliable; almost as if this is something that he's done so often that you can now expect him to not show up for any given show.
So, as far as Bon Jovi is concerned, prior to this tour there have actually only been two separate times that Richie didn't "show up for work". In thirty years. Is that correct?
I'm just trying to understand why some of the people here, who sound so angry or snarky, seem to think it's fair to judge Richie's actions (and his silence) so harshly without knowing what his reasons are. The fact that he has chosen to keep it private doesn't mean that he doesn't have good reasons for him to be in LA while the others are out on tour. And what really seems to make them most angry is that his life is going on while he's not on the road. Can you (or anyone) explain why should we reason that if he's not on tour every aspect of his life should suck out loud?
Seriously, why are people convinced that Richie is "a dick", "an ungrateful disrespectful bastard", "a prick", "an unreliable slacker", "an irresponsible flake", or a [insert derogatory term of choice here] who is no longer worthy of their respect, when all that we really know for a fact is that he didn't show up in Calgary and that he has been missing shows since that time?
