Richie Sambora spoke about the new Bon Jovi docuseries on an appearance on The Allison Hagendorf Show and also the about the possibility of rejoining his former band.
Responding to a question about rejoining Bon Jovi, Sambora answered, "The fans would just love it. It's not finance. It has nothing to do with that. The world could use it. But, as Jon said, he's been having problems with his voice. And now he had that operation with some plastic thing in his larynx. And it's an iffy thing at best. I don't know if there's anybody that has ever had that be successful. I'm not really sure about that. And I went to his house and we talked about it. I said, 'How is that now? What's going on?' Physiologically, it doesn't seem almost possible, where your brain teaches this plastic thing how to… almost like you've gotta relearn speech in a way, and things like that. So, like I said, first time I've ever really heard of that operation or something like that. So, I would definitely go. 'I Pray' was earmarked almost for Bon Jovi. It was almost gonna be that 'It's My Life' moment. So if he gets [his voice] back, I'll go play. I got songs."
