Default No Tico in Rio!

Tico Torres Update and Message from Jon & Tico

Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres was rushed to the hospital for a second time with severe pain in his abdomen and will undergo gall bladder surgery. This follows an emergency appendectomy last week. He is expected to return to the stage and the Bon Jovi tour in the very near future.



“Tico Torres has been the heart and soul of our band since we started 30 years ago,” said Jon Bon Jovi. “He’s also one tough SOB and we look forward to him again pounding away brilliantly at the drums on remainder of this and future tours.”

Bon Jovi begins the current leg of their Because We Can tour at “Rock in Rio” in Rio De Janeiro on September 20th. New Jersey native Rich Scannella will fill in for Torres until his doctors clear him to play.

Message From Tico

Hello All,

I would like to say a quick Thank You to all of you who have kept me in your thoughts thus far. There is nothing that can prepare one for a medical emergency but I have been taken especially good care of and would again like to thank all my doctors and health care professionals.

I am very disappointed not to be able to perform but our friend Rich Scannella will stand in for me. You are in good hands.

I will be there in spirit and back on stage in soon

Enjoy the show. #RockinRio


-Tico Torres

Wow. Two major operations in such a short period of time. Anyone know anything about Rich Scannella?

He is the drummer of the Kings of Suburbia. Go figure.

They should pull these shows. One band member short is bad enough. This is not bon jovi. No other band would carry on in this situation. Cash cow...

On the other hand- 50,000 + in Rio tonight anticipating a Bon jovi show....that would really suck if they pulled out. Kudos for continuing on tonight....long term, yes they would have to reconsider.
*Tonights set- vanilla as all get out.

That's my point. They are anticipating a BON JOVI show! This is not what anyone paid for. Jon Bon Jovi and friends.

I agree with Bill. Fair enough to go on tonight, but beyond tonight needs to be seriously reconsidered
