Richie Sambora's Bad Break

Seems Richie Sambora can't catch a break these days. Oh, wait...
Just weeks after Heather Locklear filed for divorce citing
irreconcilable differences, the Bon Jovi is nursing a broken arm
suffered during a nasty spill in his Los Angeles home.
Now all
he needs is some bad medicine, stat.
Per the band's Website,
the 46-year-old Sambora took the tumble last week. He was treated at a
local hospital and his arm was put in a sling.
The good news
is Sambora's bad break will not force Bon Jovi to cancel the upcoming
stadium dates on the Japanese leg of the Jersey boys' Have a Nice Day
World Tour, kicking off Apr. 8. Sambora is expected to be fully healed
for those dates, as well as band's busy spring, which also includes a
monthlong European swing launching in Dusseldorf May 13 and finishing up
at London's Wembley Stadium June 11.
Bon Jovi, touring in
support of the its latest album, Have a Nice Day, just wrapped
the North American leg in Las Vegas Mar. 11.
Even though he's
supposed to make a full and fast recovery, we recommend Sambora hold on
to his sling--it could gain him some sympathy points in his divorce
tete-a-tete with Locklear.
According to papers Sambora
filed two weeks ago, he wants joint custody of the couple's daughter,
eight-year-old Ava Elizabeth and sought to enforce a prenuptial
agreement signed before their 1997 wedding. The estranged spouses are
seeking a private judge to handle the proceedings, which would enable
them to avoid the prying eyes of the media and the public.
