Bon Jovi guitarist checks into treatment facility

But Richie Sambora’s problems are a mystery

Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora has checked into a Californian treatment facility.

The 47 year-old entered the facility on Wednesday for an undisclosed treatment programme, according to Reuters.

Sambora recently suffered the loss of his father.

Bon Jovi are currently gearing up for the release of their new album ‘Lost Highway’ which will be released June 19. They will kick off a tour to support the release a week later.

The band are also on the bill for the US leg of Live Earth, set to take place in Giants Stadium in their home state of New Jersey.
