Maybe they’re just on a break like Ross and Rachel of “Friends”! But for Jon Bon Jovie and Richie Sambora, their friendship was “Livin on a Prayer”.

Jon Bon Jovi, 62, opened up about Richie Sambora, 64, falling out with the band during the release of their upcoming docuseries, “Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story.” 

“There was never a fight,” Bon Jovi recently revealed, referring to Sambora.  “It was never about money; it was never about a girlfriend.  Richie had issues … and he literally didn’t show up. We were playing for 20,000 people and there’s a black hole on the stage.”

Bon Jovi revealed that he and Sambora watched the first three episodes of “Thank You, Goodnight” together. He said that was the first time he’d heard Sambora apologize for his departure — and he said that time helped them mend fences.  That’s the good news. And hopefully they’ll have their Ross/Rachels reunion very soon!

The four-part docuseries features 40 years of personal videos, and it also follows the band in 2022. Per Hulu, “The series relives the triumphs and setbacks, greatest hits, biggest disappointments and most public moments of friction.”  Read more here: Jon Bon Jovi Opens Up About Friendship with Richie Sambora: ‘There Was Never a Fight’ (msn.com)
