Richie Sambora had left Bon Jovi in 2013, but two years ago, Jon Bon Jovi had said that he was open to Sambora re joining the band.

Prior to that, Bon Jovi had dismissed such rumours.

“I didn’t think so, and the collective, we didn’t think so,” Bon Jovi said at the time. “I personally thought that everything was going incredibly fucking well. And it was never brought up in the room, or in the writing, or in the recording, or during the first 20 shows of that tour”. 

However, following that, Bon Jovi did not rule out that possibility of Sambora returning to the band at some point.

"You never say never. I mean, he quit the band 11-plus years ago, and he's had to deal with a lot of things in his life. But there's no animosity", he said.
