I don't think anyone can predict what will happen for the rest of the tour, I guess that will depend on Richie & how much help he needs to get back to where he needs to be physically & emotionally.
I do think that he will return to Bon Jovi at some point. They are just too good together & the chemistry between Jon & Richie is too electric. I don't see Jon ever having that with anyone else.
I know it would make me sad to see him not continue with the band.

well the German site prob got their info wrong or if not it's definitely just trying to stir the pot.

that said, WHEN Richie will be back is anyone's guess. Just because it's ludicrous to write that he "left" the band, doesnt mean he'll make it to the whole or part of the European tour, though I am sure we all hope he comes sooner than later.
