Exactly, he's said similar things before at the end of shows to Phil as well. And it's just a fact, Phil did come and help them out.

Hmmm I'm not sure. Jon said it in that way like you felt he was taking a jab at the elephant in the room. But who knows.

I stand corrected. Sorry.

He said something similar last night. Nothing sounded like a dig at Richie, though I imagine they've all become pretty good friends, y'know touring together and stuff.

Still liking Phil X and he gets a bit of unfair critism on here from some who say hes not as good as the bloke who has 30 years experience with Bon Jovi. Do they know Richie hasnt always sounded like he does now?Said it before id like to see Phil and Richie either side of Jon but thatd be a bit too rock for Bon Jovi nowdays.

So, guys, have you seen this? Jon says that he's aware of what Richie said about him wanting to see if he can pull stadiums by himself, but that he doesn't want to talk about it, that he isn't mad and that he still wants him back into the band.

If someone could translate it that would help.

Latest tweet. He tweeted it twice, actually.

There is nothing better than being a father. Here's a little gift to my Ava http://shrd.by/rCrQXC via @TIME

It's great that he tweeted again but... He was missed 21 days ago and he tweeted because Ava's letter.. Nothing about missing the tour

Thanks!
