The enduring curiosity about the relationship between former Bon Jovi bandmates Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora continues, especially with the upcoming release of their new docuseries. Despite both being featured in the Hulu series “Thank You Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story,” Jon Bon Jovi reveals that there’s no communication between the two. “Not a word. That was all Gotham Chopra,” he shared with Ultimate Classic Rock, emphasizing the documentary’s authentic approach.

Jon Bon Jovi proudly reflects on his 40-year music career, expressing that it’s an indescribable feeling. Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, once close bandmates, now find themselves out of touch. Jon Bon Jovi clarifies that their lack of communication stems from Sambora’s departure from the band, not from any personal animosity. It’s been 11 years since Sambora unexpectedly left, leaving a gap that Canadian musician Phil X filled, eventually becoming the official lead guitarist in 2016.

Despite the separation, Jon Bon Jovi insists there’s still love between them. He acknowledges the challenges Sambora faced, including being a single dad and dealing with substance abuse issues. Sambora’s departure was a difficult but necessary decision, prioritizing his family and personal well-being. He opened up about the importance of being there for his daughter Ava, during a crucial time.

The Hulu docuseries, set to premiere on April 26, will offer an in-depth look at the band’s journey, promising to captivate fans with its four-part release.
