In a recent appearance on This Morning, Jon Bon Jovi offered insights into the status of his relationship with former bandmate Richie Sambora and the possibility of a Bon Jovi reunion.
Reflecting on their shared history, Bon Jovi revealed that he and Sambora watched the first three episodes of the band’s upcoming docuseries, ‘Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story,’ together. Recounting the experience, Bon Jovi chuckled as he described their conversation during the viewing, indicating a sense of camaraderie despite their divergent paths.
Dispelling any rumors of animosity, Bon Jovi emphasized the enduring bond between him and Sambora: “There’s no animosity… He’s taken his own path on his journey. Being in a rock band isn’t a life sentence.”
Despite Sambora’s departure from the band eleven years ago, Bon Jovi remains open to the possibility of collaboration, acknowledging that Sambora knows the majority of their songs, but stressing that neither party actively seeks a reunion.
Sambora himself has expressed optimism about the prospect of returning to Bon Jovi. In recent interviews, he hinted at ongoing discussions with Bon Jovi and acknowledged the demand for a reunion, particularly outside of the United States.
While the timing remains uncertain, Sambora affirmed his readiness to embark on a “big, massive undertaking” for the band’s 40th anniversary.
Bon Jovi echoes this sentiment, affirming his willingness to collaborate with his former bandmate once more. Despite Sambora’s departure over a decade ago, Bon Jovi maintains an open-door policy, harboring no ill feelings toward his longtime friend and collaborator.
As speculation swirls around a potential Bon Jovi reunion, fans can only wait with bated breath, hopeful for the resurgence of a legendary partnership that defined an era of rock ‘n’ roll.
