Bon Jovi guitarist Ritchie Sambora has checked himself into a Los Angeles treatment facility for an undisclosed problem.
Details are at best sketchy, but he is believed to have entered the centre on Wednesday.
In the past twelve months, Sambora's father has passed away, his divorce to actress Heather Locklear was finalized and he split with actress Denise Richards.
Their new "country" album (please note, it's not actually very country), 'Lost Highway' will be released on June 19 and the band have a number of dates scheduled, including the New Jersey Live Earth show on July 7.
It is unclear whether Sambora will be ready to perform at these shows, although no hint of the band canceling has happened as of yet.
