Sambora was with ex-wife Locklear and their daughter in Hawaii a couple weeks ago. Meanwhile, he's touring Ireland this summer with his new band and still smarting from last year's break-up with Bon Jovi,

"While the reasons have never been fully disclosed, Sambora is not best pleased that Bon Jovi headed out on last year’s Because We Can tour, which included a Slane stop-off, without him.“At the end of the day, if you’re going to buy a can of Coke, you want the real thing.” he said recently. “Jon just has a different mentality. I know Mick Jagger wouldn’t tour without Keith Richards and call it the Rolling Stones.”Asked whether he might one day return to the ranks, he added: “There will have to be a lot of communication, a lot of talking.”
"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
