But if Richie was still using (at least to that extent) there is no way that he would have been able to take part in a show like The Masked Singer. Compare now to how he was back then and it's a different world.

I know you had a bad experience attempting to meet Richie back then and that has clearly influenced your opinion of him. Fair enough, but you are just coming across as bitter and angry, and as such it's hard to really take your comments seriously.
100% agree. And for such a trainwreck some think Richie is these days, he coped really well on that show. Must be Sambora magic haha

I think it is possible Richie has lasting effects from his addictions, but Thinny is correct. It is very unlikely he does the TV show if he is in the middle of a major relapse.

The trend is usually on Friday, but you could launch it any day of the week. For example, Limitless was released on a Thursday. The first single from the new Metallica album was released on a Monday.

Next Friday is 31st, so... it might as well be released. But I have a feeling it won't happen until April. Usually there should be some pre-post before launch, an announcement on their social networks at least.

Crossing fingers.

Spot on. There are certainly differences between someone who is currently using (eg. Richie 2014) and those that have been effected long term, on top of the aging process (eg. Richie 2023). He's not the Richie of 2012 and never will be, but he does seem to be in much better health and good spirits at the moment, so let's just hope we get that new material !!

Masked Singer UK is a well-rehearsed and calculated program. So we don't really know if Richie could measure up in a live show. His last performance in that church is actually what we would have to assess to get a better idea, and the guy, even though he still has a voice, is still a disaster in my book.

It's curious, Jon is a focused guy but he lacks his voice, and Richie has the voice but he needs to be more focused.

For both, the studio recordings is his true potential.

No that's not my point. As you say, those Masked Singer shows require a lot of rehearsals and a lot of hanging around and a lot of needing to be at a certain place at a certain time, a lot of songs to learn and stage routines, etc etc. If Richie was in the same state as he was around 2014 there is no way they he could have coped with doing a show like that.

Question

Somone just sent me this saying that is Richie on guitar for Michael Bolton on Top Of The Pops in 1994. I think they are right. Has anyone seen this before and does anyone know the story behind it? Seems strange for him to pop up on UK TV in Bolton's band..

That doesn't look like Richie to me. What a bloody great voice Michael Bolton has.

Do you not think? He even moves like Richie, but you don't get a really clear shot of his face.
