HE’S BACK!
RICHIE SAMBORA AND JON BON JOVI REUNITE FOR THE COMEBACK OF THE DECADE — THE 2026 WORLD TOUR THAT WILL ROCK HISTORY
After years of silence, heartbreak, and hopeful rumors, Richie Sambora is officially returning to Bon Jovi, marking one of rock’s most emotional and long-awaited reunions. Fans around the globe can finally breathe a sigh of joy as the iconic guitarist rejoins Jon Bon Jovi and the band for their massive 2026 World Tour — a tour already being hailed as “the comeback of the decade.”
For decades, the partnership between Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora defined the sound of an era — from anthems like “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “Wanted Dead or Alive” to heartfelt ballads like “Always.” Their chemistry, both on stage and in the studio, built a legacy that transcended generations. But when Sambora stepped away from the band in 2013, fans were left heartbroken, unsure if they’d ever see the duo share the spotlight again.
Now, after more than a decade apart, the reunion is real — and it’s happening on the biggest stage imaginable. Sources close to the band confirm that Sambora’s return was “natural, emotional, and long overdue.” The reconciliation reportedly began quietly in early 2025, when Jon and Richie reconnected over private jam sessions and conversations about legacy, friendship, and forgiveness. The spark that once fueled their creative fire quickly reignited.
In a heartfelt statement, Jon Bon Jovi said, “Some things are bigger than music — they’re about brotherhood. Richie and I started this journey together, and it just feels right to finish it together.” Sambora echoed the sentiment, adding, “We’ve been through the highs and lows, but the music never stopped calling. This time, it’s all about giving the fans what they’ve been waiting for.”
The 2026 World Tour will kick off in New York next summer before heading to London, Tokyo, Sydney, and Rio de Janeiro. Fans can expect a career-spanning setlist that celebrates Bon Jovi’s four decades of rock dominance — including new songs written by both Jon and Richie. Insiders say the show will feature “raw emotion, powerful storytelling, and the unmistakable energy that only Bon Jovi and Sambora together can create.”
From small-town dreams to stadium-sized anthems, this reunion isn’t just about nostalgia — it’s about rebirth. The band that once sang about “livin’ on a prayer” is proving that prayers really can be answered.
The boys are back. The guitars are roaring. Bon Jovi is whole again — and 2026 will never be the same.
