Riche sambora, outside Bon Jovi: «Due to personal issues, Richie Sambora will not be performing again for the remainder of the current leg of the tour. All concerts go ahead as scheduled.
With this brief message, the Bon Jovi website announces the guitarist's resignation for the rest of the American tour in which the American band is currently embarking, presenting their recent album 'What about now'.
For now, no further information has been given in this regard, nor is it known when the guitarist will be able to return to the band, which will start its European stadium tour in May, with a stop in Madrid on June 27 at the Vicente Calderón. Sambora was not present at the band's last concert in Calgary (Canada), in which Jon Bon Jovi explained from the stage that after receiving a call in the early afternoon, he was faced with two options: “Take the suitcases and come home or come here to give everything I have ».
"Richie isn't in jail or hospital or anything, but he won't be performing with us any time soon," added Jon, who did much of the guitar parts usually played by Richie. This is not the first time that Sambora temporarily leaves the band, since in early 2011 he was admitted to undergo rehabilitation for his addictions.
At the moment it is a mystery, although it is worth wondering if his relapses with drugs will not be the fundamental factor for this absence. Let us remember that tickets for the Madrid show are on sale www.doctormusic.com and www.ticketmaster.es, also at Fnac, Carrefour and the usual points of sale of the Ticketmaster network in Spain, or by phone at 902 15 00 25.
