[Rick Lee]

Surely, you read one of the multiple articles that said the band had all of Brian's stuff packed up into a container and shipped to his house in FL without so much as a discussion about his condition. He told them what the doctor told him, said he wanted to get a second opinion, but needed to put things on hold and then he was gone and Axl was hired. Maybe those reports are erroneous, but it sure seems like he was let go and replaced at the drop of a hat.
