Bon Jovi Reunion Door Opened By Ice Bucket Challenge?

08/20/2014
. (Gibson) The Ice Bucket Challenge is all the rage these days. Aside from providing amusement from seeing one of your friends or perhaps a celebrity being doused in ice water, the purpose of the stunt is to promote awareness and raise money for ALS research.

Now the challenge might actually produce a welcome side effect - helping to restore the working relationship between two of rock's biggest icons - Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora. Jon recently took the Ice Bucket Challenge. The participant in the challenge is called to nominate three new participants, and Jon decided to challenge Bon Jovi bandmates Tico Torres, David Bryan, and also estranged guitarist Sambora.

The challenge might be the crucial first step towards repairing Jon and Richie's working relationship, and bring the guitarist back to the band. Sambora left the group abruptly early last year at the start of the band's latest world tour in support of the album What About Now.

On Tuesday, Sambora accepted the challenged and posted a video on YouTube. "He got word of the challenge while in Japan so after a show day, a travel day and once back at home in his own time zone, he let the water hit him," says the caption accompanying the video. He in turn issued his own challenge. Watch the video and find out who he challenged here. more on this story
