Jon talks about Richie (among other topics)

“I think Richie’s doing all right, (but) I haven’t spoken to him,” lead singer Jon Bon Jovi says (Phil X has replaced Sambora for the rest of the tour). “We were surprised. It was 3:30 on show day on Tuesday and we got a phone call that he wouldn’t be there. It’s a personal matter.
“Don’t believe what you read on TMZ because it’s the furthest thing from the truth.”

Maybe it's just the way it's worded but that's says he won't be playing for the rest of the tour.
