Jon Bon Jovi Sends A Heartbreaking Message To Richie Sambora

In a new interview with Record Collector magazine, Jon Bon Jovi talked about how much he misses Richie Sambora.

For more than 30 years, Sambora played with Bon Jovi and helped write many hit songs. But in 2013, he didn’t join the band for their tour. Sambora said he left to spend more time with his family. Bon Jovi reflected on this over a decade later:

“It’s heartbreaking that Richie left and that he did it in that way. We were shocked. I miss him personally and creatively, in the studio and as an integral part of the band onstage.”

Jon couldn’t change Richie’s decision to leave. The frontman added:

“If you don’t show up for work, your boss is going to say, ‘What the f*ck?’ Get help. And if you don’t want to get help…It’s 11 years now. David and Tico have seen Richie once and I’ve seen him twice. It’s not like we haven’t tried.”

Jon’s Earlier Statements On Reuniting With Sambora

Still, Bon Jovi’s comments on Sambora and their band dashed hopes of a reunion. In a chat with Classic Rock magazine following the documentary ‘Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story’ last month, the singer disclosed that he has spoken to Sambora only twice since he left the band:

“I’ve talked to him twice. He. Quit. The. Band. I swear to Christ there was never a fight, nothing… He wasn’t kicked out, he quit. And he hasn’t made any great overtures about coming back.”

Sambora also later said he left because he thought the band was getting boring. Bon Jovi didn’t agree with this:

“I didn’t think so, and the collective, we didn’t think so. I personally thought that everything was going incredibly f*cking well. And it was never brought up in the room, or in the writing, or in the recording, or during the first 20 shows of that tour.”

After leaving the band, Sambora returned to perform with them at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. However, since then, there has been no further contact.

VIDΕO: Tʀavis Kelce WARNS Kim Kardashiaɴ for insulting Taylor Swift

Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce took to social media today to address recent comments made by reality TV star Kim Kardashian, in which she allegedly insulted pop sensation Taylor Swift.

The NFL star, known for his outspokenness both on and off the field, did not hold back in expressing his disapproval of Kardashian’s remarks.

Kelce, a known supporter of Swift, wasted no time in addressing the situation.

Taking to Twitter, he directly called out Kardashian for her comments, labeling them as disrespectful and unwarranted. In a series of tweets, Kelce defended Swift’s talent and criticized Kardashian for attempting to undermine her success.

“Hey @KimKardashian, it’s one thing to have your opinions, but it’s another to publicly bash someone’s artistry,” Kelce tweeted.

“Taylor Swift is one of the most talented musicians of our generation, and she deserves respect, not petty insults.”

Kelce’s tweets quickly gained traction, with many fans rallying behind him in support of Swift. The hashtag #KelceDefendsSwift began trending on Twitter, as users praised the NFL star for standing up for what he believes in.
