More bad news for Richie Sambora fans. Bon Jovi recently revealed that the guitarist will be sitting out the upcoming European and South African legs of their current ‘Because We Can’ tour, which kicks off on May 7.
During his visit today (April 23) to the 'Ellen' show, Jon Bon Jovi talked about his band's 30 year history -- and of course was asked to comment on guitarist Richie Sambora's recent departure from their tour.
The story that Richie Sambora was kicked off the Bon Jovi tour is bunk, according to Jon Bon Jovi. In a new interview, the singer said that the decision was made entirely by Sambora.
We're starting to learn more details -- or at least, hear some depressing theories -- about the "personal issues" that led to Richie Sambora's departure from the current Bon Jovi tour. According to one source, the decision was the result of Sambora's continuing issues with alcohol.
A fair number of Bon Jovi fans feared that Richie Sambora's recently announced absence from the upcoming leg of the band's current tour might indicate a reprise of Sambora's struggles with substance abuse, but it sounds like the only substance involved is cash.
In news that hopefully isn't as troubling as it seems, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora will miss the next leg of Bon Jovi's touring commitments due to what the band is describing as "personal issues."
Richie Sambora, Bon Jovi guitarist, is ready to rejoin Bon Jovi’s European tour.
The 51-year-old guitarist was at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport on Sunday and told TMZ.com he's "doing excellent," before saying he had no plans to stay in the city because he was “going out to Europe right now.”
The veteran rock star entered rehab for exhaustion and alcohol abuse in April after spending most of 2010 on tour. "Richie has had a busy year," a friend told RadarOnline.com. “I think this was a culmination of the things that overloaded his life and finally he realized he needed to take care of himself."
In 2007, Sambora checked into rehab following his divorce from Heather Locklear, his wife of 16 years, and the death of his father.
According to an exclusive report from Radar Online, Bon Jovi singer Richie Sambora is checking into rehab for exhaustion and to regain his sobriety.
A source told Radar Online that "Richie recently has been drinking too much, and wants to get his life together."
"I think this was a culmination of all the things that overloaded his life and finally he realized he needed to take care of himself," added a friend.
