I won't believe those craps as long as Richie Sambora hasn't done any statement yet. Moreover there's no reliable source as nobody has decide to talk about what is going on in our Jovi World and what made Richie to quit.

But, anyway, even if Richie give it up from Bon Jovi (thing bad) and makes a solo career (I'd follow him there too) Jon Bon Jovi won't let the band disband so easy. He'll just bring in another lead guitarist and life goes on. This would be Phil or Dave Sabo or whoever he prefers to hire. I'd follow both Bon Jovi & Friends as well as Richie Sambora if it comes to a concert or a record. Both Jon & Richie are my inspiration (Including David Bryan, Tico & Hugh too) and I'd love to see them together on stage, if this can't happen then I think that I'll have to see Richie on his own solo tours (and finally meet him as this is more possible, he did that in his solo tour last year) and Bon Jovi as Jon & Friends act which will still carry the name of "Bon Jovi".
To sum up, If it comes to Richie quits once and forever the band, then I would love to see Richie live as well as Bon Jovi & Friends.
