Bon Jovi Guitarist Sidelined

Many would make the case that Richie Sambora is as critical a component to the Bon Jovi sound as Jon himself, so the decision to continue the current tour without the lead guitarist has surprised and disappointed some fans and critics.  The band issued a statement reading, in part, 'Our support for Richie is absolute. He is, and will remain, a member of Bon Jovi.'  It concluded by saying, '...we will keep our commitment to our fans and continue our tour.'  That did little to quell complaints by many ticket holders for upcoming shows that contend those dates should be postponed until Sambora is able to tour again.  Announcing a well-known guitarist to fill-in might help. As of Sunday (5/1), no announcement had been made about who will take over Sambora's slot in the band until he is ready to return.
