Here's a snip I found on someone's blog regarding Rick.

The key point of contention seems to have been the length of the tour.
Chatting with fans after a solo show in early Nov, Wakeman confirmed he
had been in discussions with the others about touring in 2008 and that
he wants to do a tour, but that they could not agree on what form the
tour should take. He explained that he is limiting himself to 25 shows a
year, but that the others want to do a tour of over 100 dates. He was
quoted as saying, "They're mad—Jon's voice would never stand up to it."
Wakeman has semi-retired from touring.
