Jon Bon Jovi On Richie Sambora's Rehab

Jon Bon Jovi has spoken out about his bandmate Richie Sambora’s current stint in rahab, calling the guitarist a “work in progress”.

Sambora recently entered a Californian clinic treatment following reports of a shambolic performance at a recent TV performance, and Jon says Richie is coming along slowly.

He tells The Mail, “Richie's OK, but he's a work-in-progress, you know.

“We've been in the band together for so long and gone through a whole range of experiences, but to be honest, we'd had no real strife until recently.”

Jon says the recent death of Sambora’s father and split from Denise Richards have been a contributing factor behind his problems.

“Parents were passing away and divorces were happening and kids were coming of age and suddenly it wasn't me, me, me any more, but we, we, we,” he explains.

What do you mean by out patient?

[UKjovi]

As in still a patient but able to carry on with life but go in now and then for treatment or check ups.

Interesting quote this. Is Jon refering to strife in the personal lifes, or strife in the band, ie difficulties between him and Richie?

The first one. Before KTF there were a few issues but nothing big, band-wise.
