So it's rehab time all over again for Richie...I'm so so sad, he seems to never be able to get a grip. Now it's beginning to scare me. Anyhow it's great that he grans the bull by its horns at the right moment and doesn't allow the monster to grow too big, so kudos for that.
This news popped in my Google alert so here it is (from http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz)
Bon Jovi star Richie Sambora has checked into rehab for 'exhaustion' and to 'regain his sobriety', it has been reported.
The 51-year-old guitarist, who has just finished a hugely popular tour with Bon Jovi, is said to be determined to get his life back on track and thinks a stay in a rehabilitation facility is the way forward.
A source told gossip website RadarOnline.com: 'Richie recently has been drinking too much, and wants to get his life together.'
The rest of the band are said to be very supportive of the musician's decision to seek help.
This is not the first time Sambora has checked himself into rehab.
In 2007, following a traumatic year which saw him split from then-girlfriend Denise Richards in the same month that his father died of cancer, Sambora spent a month in Utah's Cirque Lodge facility.
After leaving rehab, Sambora said at the time: 'I was just drinking too much and I needed to get my life together.
'I’m still in therapy and stuff like that, but it’s good. I’m great. I feel fine.'
In 2008, Sambora was arrested for driving under the influence with his girlfriend and daughter Ava in the car. He pled no contest and was sentenced to three years probation and given a fine of $350.
And now Sambora is said to have decided the best step for him at this point in his life is to return to a facility for treatment.
A close friend of the guitarist told Radaronline.com: 'Richie has had a busy year. I think this was a culmination of all the things that overloaded his life and finally he realized he needed to take care of himself.'
As yet it is unclear how Sambora's decision will affect Bon Jovi's remaining American tour dates this month, and their European dates in June.
Get well dahlin'! we're all rooting for ya.
