Richie Sambora has revealed that he has already played with Bon Jovi ahead of their induction in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

The guitarist recently reunited with his old band for rehearsals for the Hall Of Fame induction ceremony. It marks the first time Sambora has shared a stage with Bon Jovi since he dramatically quit in 2013.

“We already rehearsed and it was wonderful, it wasn’t awkward,” the guitarist tells Billboard magazine. “The chemistry came back very quickly; it’s matrixed into our muscle memory at this point. If you’re on the road performing and touring for 30 years, [the Rock Hall ceremony] is just another cycle – and it’s a good one, so here we go.”
