I've watched Live In London and now The Crush Tour and I just really wish I was seeing Bon Jovi with Richie Sambora sometime soon.

I think he's reading this thread. LOL Someone had just mentioned that he hadn't thanked the fans for making those contributions.

Could be, but I also noticed a lot of fans were Tweeting him about it, as in, "By the way, did you see that fans donated money to The Midnight Mission in honor of your birthday?"

For what it's worth, a friend of mine who somehow seems to be "in the know" claimed he found out about it shortly after he returned to the U.S. and was very touched.

I had this bad feeling myself. LOL But yeah, it's most likely - hopefully - just the tweets.

I hope Richie isn't reading this thread, if he has been then there's no way he's coming back.

I will be curious to see how the japan shows sell .... The Japs are obsessed with Richie .... Lichie Lichie !

I was bored this morning and was reading through this thread again. There's a lot of similarities between that situation and the current one, mainly the asinine Twitter usage and the lack of clear explanations for anything.

Are you sure they're not thinking about this?

Damn you, I ended up reading that entire thread instead of working. :D And out of that, this is the post that jumped out at me:

are we witnessing a man on the slippery slope, I sincerely hope not but it does seem the writing is on the wall......I think if he has fallen off the wagon again!, his Boss (CEO JBJ) will not be impressed....I wonder if he still has Phil X's number in his phone..........

Right.

Ive been watching the When We Were Beautiful Documentry and I think Richie needs to watch this.
He needs to see what he was saying not 5 years ago about brotherhood, all the band helping him, the fans etc.
He needs to get back in the band. I thank Phil X for filling in but the time has come for Richie to man up and get back to what he does best.

Sort it out.

That said, after watching the WWWB thing I got me thinking that it must be a pretty big thing for Richie to walk off the tour.
He said how he needs the band and the fans to help him in times of need and how the band were really there for him when he blipped last time.

I hope they can sort it out.
