Bon Jovi fans became excited when former guitarist Richie Sambora made a statement that there is a possibility of rejoining the band.

In a statement he gave to Life Magazine earlier this year, Sambora said, "there is no bad blood with me anymore, I love Jon and I still see possibility of a return. There are just a few steps I want to - I need to take." He added that he wanted to make his own music and wanted to do a few shots with his own band.

Sambora, who earlier this year had a tour in Europe as a solo outfit also admitted that a strict ultimatum - "to go or not to go with the concert" was given to him before he left the band during their Because We Can tour last year.

April 2013, Richie Sambora, guitarist of the band Bon Jovi did the most unimaginable thing: he left the band where he spent thirty years of his life.

In an interview with a Hollywood reporter, Sambora said, "We were the hardest working band in the world, man. You're talking 24/7 and you don't get to come home. I missed so much of my child's life and you get to the place when you realize, 'Oh My God, this is really important!' "

He also added that he wants to regularly check his mom and needed to be with his daughter, Ava who debuted her first Disney Channel show, Good Luck Charlie.

There was a rumour that a feud was going on between Richie Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi, lead vocal of the band and that the split of the former is because of fallout of finances in which Jon had denied.

Despite Sambora's absence, the band continued their Concert Tours. Phil X replaced Sambora during the remaining of Because We Can tour.
