Jon Bon Jovi is addressing speculation that former Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora will rejoin the band.

In a new interview, the singer revealed that a reunion isn’t in the cards.

He said he is still “heartbroken” over Sambora’s departure, before adding that he has barely spoken to his ex-bandmate over the last 11 years – just twice since Sambora left the band mid-tour in 2013.

He also said Sambora hasn’t really made any great overtures about coming back.

Sambora later said his departure was partly down to feeling that the band were getting “stale,” but Bon Jovi refutes those claims saying, “I didn’t think so, and the collective, we didn’t think so.”
