The Bon Jovi guitarist will leave the tour to check himself into an undisclosed rehab center to address alcohol addiction and exhaustion.  This isn’t his first time to rehab.

His bandmates issued this statement on the matter, “Our support for Richie is absolute. He is, and will remain, a member of Bon Jovi. “Although he will be absent from upcoming shows for the time being, we very much look forward to his healthy return. In the meantime, we will keep our commitment to our fans and continue our tour.”
