Did Sambora Refuse Help?

The latest report in the ongoing Bon Jovi - Richie Sambora saga is that Sambora refused to seek help for his drinking, which led Jon Bon Jovi to remove him from the tour.

Radar Online quotes a source who says, “Jon has no intention of taking him back without Richie attending a serious rehab program. Six weeks ago, he and Richie had a two-hour call to patch things up, but when Jon made it clear that he would not take him back before he went into rehab, it was a deal-breaker.”

But another source disputes this, saying, “Richie is healthy. He is not drinking. He is sober. Indeed, he is the one who helped Jon’s daughter after she was arrested [for drugs] in November, and Jon clearly wanted his daughter to get the same help that worked for Richie.”

And of course, Jon is not available for comment.
