Bon Jovi member Richie Sambora is dropping out from the tour to take care his personal issues --- checking into rehab for a second time.
The band expressed support to Sambora's decision and the upcoming concert tour will still go on. Bon Jovi says in a statement:
"Our support for Richie is absolute," Bon Jovi says in a statement Thursday. "He is, and will remain, a member of Bon Jovi. Although he will be absent from upcoming shows for the time being, we very much look forward to his healthy return. In the meantime, we will keep our commitment to our fans and continue our tour."
Reportedly, Sambora is now facing exhaustion and alcohol addiction. In 2007, he entered rehab in Utah at Cirque Lodge after his split with Heather Locklear.
