Re: Bon Jovi, AC/DC top concert draws in 2010
Yeah, but I guess they're thinking that they don't want to put their fans through the hassle of rescheduling and such. Maybe they figure a show without Richie on the scheduled date is more important than a show with Richie on a date well in the future. Tickets are paid for, plans have been made, etc.
I see what you're saying, and agree. But maybe they figure "fans" won't miss Richie THAT much. And aside from the hardcores, I don't think they will. No offense to Richie, he's obviously really important to the band. But the "average" fan could care less who's playing guitar. They'd probably piss off a lot less fans finishing the tour without him than postponing it to a later date.

As long as Jon BON JOVI is there - it's Bon Jovi.
Tbh, that's the kind of fan they cater to.
To this day, despite the band playing it live, most people still think Blaze of Glory & The Miracle are Bon Jovi songs. That's how important 'the band' is.

Runaway was just Jon too, and that started it all for them.
Having never been to a BJ show, do they play Blaze of Glory or any of their solo stuff?

Phil X is the new guitarist in Bon Jovi replacing Richie Sambora, at least for the time being.
Phil who you say? So do we!
Phil Xenidis was the guy who replaced Rik Emmett in Triumph and has played with Rob Zombie, Tommy Lee, Kelly Clarkson, Alice Cooper and Daughtry.
As a songwriter Phil co-wrote ‘Tired’ on the Tommy Lee ‘Tommyland: The Ride’ album. He has also performed with Lee on Ellen and The Tonight Show.
Bon Jovi announced the temporary departure of Richie Sambora on Friday, the day before they resumed their American tour in New Orleans. Sambora has checked into rehab. It is unknown how long he will be out of Bon Jovi.
The last date of the current Bon Jovi tour is July 31, in Lisbon, Portugal.
