Here is the answer you can't deny OK???

1. If the take a break will they be back?
Of course they will. Richie+Jon+Dave+Tico+Huey= Millions of dollars. But money is not an object to them since they are set for life. They will keep going as long as there are fans out there. Hey BOUNCE might not be the hottest seller in town but every band had it's ups and downs. AC/DC had more Gold than Platinum albums but that's not a reason to quit.

2. Will they take a break in a year??
NO. They will be touring all this year, stop and go back on the road in spring and summer of 2004 just before they decide to take a break.

3. Will there be a new album?
In 2006 or 2007, according to Jon on a recent MSN interview. That is when they will be back in spotlight by being inducted into the RnR Hall of Fame. I assume Jon will make some wave during 2004-2006 in Hollywood but not enough to be taken seriously at all. In order to stay in the spotlight, he will put the band back together right in time for the Hall of Fame.

4. Richie?
He will most likely release that long awaited new record and it will feature someone big on it like Steven Tyler or maybe ever Eric Clapton. Him and Steven performed together on one track on Pink's last album "Misuderstood". I imagine there will be more of that. Richie will tour but most likely he won't hit the States excet for a few dates on the East Coast.

Maybe....


To be honest, I expect them to do another album, and I think it will suck just as much as the last one...

BUT

I'll have a great time arging that the band have lost their way on the board :D
Plus, I'll be able to see the band live again, which even though I do complain, I'm sure will still be great, and hopefully more than worthy of sitting in a coach for hours to get to all the shows my wallet will stretch too!
