Richie Sambora

Guitarist recalls startling moment late in his tenure with the band.

Singer says he’s spoken to guitarist just twice since “shock” split.

He sensed that Jon Bon Jovi preferred to be a solo artist.

It's the first of four new songs the guitarist will be releasing.

"Doesn't mean that there's not love forever," singer tells UCR.

"But I could do it tomorrow if they asked me," guitarist adds.

He left band just hours before showtime in Calgary.

Classic-era guitarist's rumored return seemingly inches closer to fruition.

Will the guitarist ever get back with the group?

But singer argues there’s an upside to his old friend’s absence from Bon Jovi.
