Bon Jovi is set to head out on tour in 2026, officially sharing the news and their upcoming show dates in a poster uploaded to Instagram<\/a> on Oct. 23. While many fans were delighted to see the band getting back on the road, quite a few people noticed something missing from the tour poster: No Richie Sambora.<\/p>\n It didn’t take long for comments to start rolling in, many wondering why Sambora wasn’t part of the upcoming tour.<\/p>\n “Please bring back Richie! It just ain\u2019t the same without him man,” one person wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n “We want Richieeeeee,” someone else said<\/a>.<\/p>\n “And Richie???\u2026 When Jon??” a third Instagram user asked<\/a>.<\/p>\n “RitchieComeBack,” a fourth comment read<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to TMZ<\/a>, there isn’t any bad blood between Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora. While some people were hopeful that Sambora would reunite with his bandmates after more than a decade, that’s simply not going to happen. And, as TMZ reports, it’s never going to happen.<\/p>\n Sambora left Bon Jovi in 2013. He rejoined his bandmates in 2018 when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but hasn’t been back since.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, other Bon Jovi fans are elated to see the band getting back on tour after Bon Jovi himself underwent vocal chord surgery.<\/p>\n “I think I can confidently say that I can go and do my two and a half hours night after night after night. But I wouldn\u2019t do it unless it was that,” Bon Jovi said on the Oct. 23 episode of Today<\/a>. “The road has been long. It\u2019s been tough. But I persevered,” he said of his recovery.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Oct 24, 2025, where it first appeared in the Celebs<\/a> section.
