From nj1015.com:

"The real reason Richie Sambora has left Bon Jovi’s tour could be somewhere between the stated “personal issues” and reports of a feud between Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi. The New York Post’s Page Six reports Sambora’s departure from the band before Tuesday night’s concert in Calgary came at the urging of Jon’s wife Dorthea who wants the tour to be alcohol-and-drug free.

“Jon [Bon Jovi] has been trying to get rid of him. He drinks constantly and has a stream of Hollywood bimbos around all the time,” a band insider told the Post.

The insider says Sambora, who has done several rehabilitation stints over the past few years “didn’t believe in rehab.”

Sambora may also be upset over the poor sales of his recent solo album and the failure of his clothing line, White Trash Beautiful."
"It takes a lot of devotion and work, or maybe I should say play, because if you love it, that's what it amounts to. I haven't found any shortcuts, and I've been looking for a long time."
-- Chet Atkins
