Richie is apparently in London. Can't find it now, but I saw a post from a female singer that she was hanging out with Richie in London, so maybe he is working with her?

There is so much to dislike about this. GB News..... *shudder*.

if you focus on the negatives sure. The interviewers were awful. But Richie is looking and sounding well, so all good.

This was the post I was talking about earlier

When they both begin talking at the same time and end so the other one can speak and then start again at the same time is soo freaking funny to me!! :lol: :lol:

Amateurish TV station along the lines of Fox News so wouldn’t expect anything different!🤮

The guy is a mix of trump and bret Michaels.


Speaks in stock phrases and rhetoric.

“I have a new record that's ready to go,” Richie revealed. “I've been kind of holding on to it through the pandemic. And I say in the Fall, we're gonna put it out.”

We'll see...not holding my breath, but fingers crossed...

Man, that is just ingenious. Record sales are non existant and as such irrelevant. Streaming was up during the pandemic. During the time he has "been holding on to it" he might have made two more records.

Man. Oh man oh man.

Yeah pretty much. It made all the sense in the world for a band like Bon Jovi to wait until the pandemic slowed down (not that it did any good sales wise) but if you're not planning on touring extensively, get a GOOD social media manager, put out a rock song or two that shows you still got it to whet peoples appetite before the album comes out, bingo bango. All hypothetical theories and armchair quarterbacking but man what I would give to see them actually give a shit about the music.

It didn't work like that. During the pandemic record labels stopped. Nothing was happening. Staff was furloughed. Richie wouldn't have had anything in place for the album at the time and doing anything like making a record deal during the time was impossible. Lots of artists were forced to do exactly the same thing. Granted, most have put their albums out by now but you can't put songs out on your own during a pandemic and then expect a label to pick the album up. Not in this day and age. At the end of the day it's a music "business" and you have to play the game...

I think the best Richie could do at the time was give us those snippets via Norm
