Richie is the soul of Bon Jovi without him it's not the same.. I hope one day they do one more concert. just one for the og fans.. ✨

[wilcox]

Richie, you are one of my favorites, you have a sweet soul and so down to earth. We love you and miss you. Always remember that you have people that really care about you and your well being. Life is short, take it and go with it, do what you love, , , ,

[hugosilva]

The truth is that Bon Jovi without Richie isn't quite the same band..

[lisamazz]

Richie just seems to always beat around the bush when asked that question. He walked out on the band years ago and personally I would love to see them play together again but I'm not sad if it doesn't happen. Richie made his choice when he chased his solo career. Jon Bon Jovi has my respect, always. ❤

Jon and Richie with Bon Jovi band needs to happen!!!!

[margeauxhamilton]

I feel sorry for Richie. He had a rough marriage, he needed to be with his daughter, and his past drug issues reveals he’s had trials and tribulations too deep and painful for him to talk about. His sense of self worth shouldn’t be based on returning to the band. They have moved on. His story goes deeper than being the lead guitarist for Bon Jovi.

[hawtmess]

We just need one more performance as a proper goodbye for the fans. But sadley, Jons voice issues are probably going to prevent it. It sucks that hes losing the one thing hes depended on the most in his life. Maybe we'll get lucky. A girl can dream

[Moiredennis]

I do agree that Ritchie should be in bonjovi

[Moiredennis]

I like ritchie I grew up with this band they are in my time

[wilcox]

Both don't need the money. They should be enjoying their lives now, I would.

[JeffprilBuno]

The TRUTH IS WITHOUT SAMBORA BONJOVI IS LIKE A COVER BAND

[hawtmess]

Jon must be so tired of talking about Richie. Its nearly the first topic in all the interviews ive been watching

[BayviewProperties-xj]

I sometimes get the feeling he is weaponizing the fans to put pressure on Jon to bring him back

[bryani]

I've said it before and I will see it again. Bon Jovi is Richie and Jon, just like the Stones are, Mick and Keith....

[DirtyMikeTM]

So Richie says he will come back if Jon gets his singing voice back. I don't think Jon's voice will ever be able to sing the old songs like he did back then.

[runnerlaod]

The door was closed for Richie a long time ago, in my opinion. Jon was pretty clear, concering a return : "I think he doesn't want to come back. " If you read between the lines, it is clear that he sees no place for the former guitarist

[RitaMahama-uyll]

That he would play does not mean he will be asked to. Why will he be earmarking a son for Bon Jovi? You have not been part for over 11yrs,

[marioalvarado]

Get out John Shanks, is the Yoko Ono for Bon Jovi...

[RosesGibbs]

I love Richie and John . Richie should have been able to sing more soulos with John. Think about it if you carry that band have that band for all those years and you're not getting respect for that or maybe it was time for him to move on. Right now they can't get past their the egos thing going

[RamilTabiolo]

Richie go back to bon jovi and all the fans love it
