Bon Jovi Lead Guitarist Richie Sambora Leaving The Band? Sambora Finally Breaks His Silence On The Speculations

Tags

Bon Jovi's lead guitarist Richie Sabora is rumored that he will leave the band.

The speculations started due to Richie Sambora's absence from the Bon Jovi lineup. From the article of Ulitamate Classic Rock, the possibility to have a reunion of the band seems to have a lower chance.

However, in a recent interview, Sambora confirmed that there is still a possibility. He stated in an interview with Lust For Life: "There's no bad blood with me any more."

He also added that he still has love for longtime musical partner Jon Bon Jovi with this statement:

"I still see the possibility of a return," he insisted. "There are just a few steps I want to - need to - take."

The guitarist admitted that he's been bothered by a number of the reports that have come out of his abrupt departure from the band in 2013

The continuation of his interview, he mentioned:

"It's hurt me that more and more untrue things have come out in the media. I just wanted calmer waters, and just do something for myself. But the Bon Jovi machine was on. I said I wanted a break. We had just finished with another tour ... I saw a year of other priorities for me. I wanted to make my own music, and preferred doing a few shows with my own band. That was just not accepted."

It was also reported that he gave an ultimatum because of this statement. "I could choose - join or leave. That's hard when you share joys and sorrows for 30 years,".

For the closing of the interview, he left with this statement:

"Still, as much as that stung, he assured fans he's in a much happier place today. "I've done a lot of wrong things in my life and I've regularly made bad decisions. But I think this step was the right one at last ... We're going to record an album; I'd like to do a tour after that. Not a tour of 14 months in more than 50 countries. Just a nice tour, playing music then being home for a while."
