The Management don't level with Ron. He's been upfront about this in the past, meaning in between tour legs he's been asked to be on 'stand-by' for months in case new dates show up. Then, everybody scatters to put the tour together.

You can't really plan a life that much ahead with such an arrangement, and it did bite him. Also, the pain he's been subjected to, along with a hard touring itinerary, obviously took a toll on him.

He's been reaching out to the fans, disclosing his situation for the fans to see. The question would be, why? Why not talk to the Management and say he's hurting, he's depressed, he'd rather be home recovering with his family?

Given the kind of person Ron is, the most logical explanation is that he tried talking to those in charge of the tour itinerary / band affairs. Going public would then be fueled by frustration for them doing jack shit about anything.
