Richie Sambora says there's a "possibility" of him reuniting with Bon Jovi next year.

The guitarist joined Bon Jovi in 1983 and co-wrote most of the band’s biggest hits. He walked away in 2013 prior to a show on the first leg of their Because We Can tour, later citing the need for a break and to handle some family issues.

His response came as he was specifically asked whether he'd consider playing with Bon Jovi as headliners for Glastonbury 2023. As yet, no acts have been confirmed for the June festival.

It's not the first time Sambora has given fans hope that he'll return to the band. In 2020 he said: "It would have to be a special situation for me to go back, but I'm certainly not counting it out. I have no malice toward that band."

He said: "It’s a possibility. We’re talking a bit." Metro notes that Sambora gave his response with a 'cheeky smile on his face.'
