Richie Sambora - Finishes Rehab, Returning To Bon Jovi Tour
Richie Sambora - Finishes Rehab, Returning To Bon Jovi Tour
The guitarist checked into an undisclosed facility in Los Angeles to seek treatment for alcohol addiction and exhaustion.
He was forced to drop out of more than a month of gigs with his band when he entered the programme at the end of April (11), and now he ready to return to rocking.
According to Tmz.com, Sambora will jet out to meet the band in Croatia for a show on Wednesday (08Jun11).
It's not the first time he has been in rehab - he underwent treatment to help him overcome his divorce from actress Heather Locklear and the death of his father in 2007.

Richie Sambora -- Out of Rehab, Joining the Tour
Richie Sambora is out of rehab and has just landed in New York City, but he's not staying long -- he's rejoining the Bon Jovi tour.
Sambora told our photog at JFK he was feeling good -- which was evidenced by the fact he signed dozens upon dozens of autographs for fans (check back in the morning for video).
He just arrived from Los Angeles, but plans on heading right back out -- he's meeting up with Jon and the boys for the European leg of the tour. They are scheduled to play in Croatia on Wednesday.
Sambora checked himself into rehab in late April after, we're told, he fell of the wagon.

Bon Jovi at Mohegan Sun
UNCASVILLE, Conn. - Jon Bon Jovi guessed from the stage at Mohegan Sun on Saturday night that it has been “29 to 30 years or so” that the fans have been supporting his rock’ n’ roll dream.
That fan base shows no signs of wavering.
Either does the band.
Bon Jovi played a sold out Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday, the fourth and final stop at the venue along the current tour, and thanked the faithful with a two hour and fifteen minute set of high powered rock.
The production alone was a tribute to the arena rock milieu. Everything above and behind the circular stage moved, morphed, and slid, from the hi tech video screens to the hydraulic risers that, when they weren’t supporting the lead singer, where also serving as video boards.
There may only be a handful of bands that can play an arena rock show like Bon Jovi. In fact, it is this band that might define the genre.
After the bells rung and the whistles whistled, Bon Jovi emerged from all the moving parts to ring up “Last Man Standing,” and followed with “You Give Love a Bad Name.”
The two songs made sense together but represent two very different parts of the band’s career. The latter was recorded when critics were putting Bon Jovi in the same hair-band category as Skid Row, Warrant, and Cinderella.
Anyone know where any of those bands were playing this weekend?
The latter song was also the first spotlight moment for fill-in Phil X, the guitarist who is taking the place of Richie Sambora while the longtime band member is doing a stint in rehab. Phil X is a well-known session player (Daughtry, Avril Lavigne, Alice Cooper) who seemed to fit right in with the group.
After anthems “Superman Tonight,” and “Lost Highway,” Bon Jovi rolled a little country flavor into the mix with the yearning rocker “Whole Lot of Leaving.” Again the newer song was paired with a classic, serving as the prelude to “Bad Medicine.”
It was during “Bad Medicine” that Jon Bon Jovi took leave of the set list and with prompting from Jersey pal and former Cats on A Smooth Surface (and occasional Asbury Juke) Bobby Bandiera wrestled in Roy Orbison’s “Pretty Woman.”
With the lights down, Bon Jovi made his way out to the center of the arena via the circular catwalk and gave acoustic versions of “(You Want To) Make a Memory,” and “I’ll Be There for You.”
He returned to the stage for “Someday I’ll Be Saturday Night,” subtly dedicating the song to Sambora.
“I can hear your voices,” he said. “You’re all pulling for our friend, right?”
Sambora’s absence seemed to affect the mystique of the band more than the music. Phil X was a formidable replacement and Bandiera, a longtime friend and occasional collaborator with Bon Jovi provided stability as well.
The band closed with “Living On A Prayer,” and put together a strong four-song encore that included “Wanted; Dead or Alive,” with Bon Jovi again thanking the crowd for supporting the band “even when we’re down a man.”
Hartford band Lakshmi earned and opening slot on the show thanks to winning a radio station battle of the bands and handled their half hour set like they were used to playing arena stages.

Sports tie Jon Bon Jovi is co-owner of the AFL's Philadelphia Soul
What critics say "For nearly two hours, Jon Bon Jovi and Phil 'X' Xenidis, Sambora's more-than-capable stand-in, worked extremely hard to deliver a show that, on balance, was more electric and satisfying than Bon Jovi's 2009 Jazz Fest set."
