Richie Sambora Heads to Rehab

Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora has entered an undisclosed treatment facility according to his rep.

"Richie Sambora has entered an undisclosed treatment facility in Los Angeles," the rep said in a statement. "He asks that you respect he and his family's privacy at this time."

The specific nature of Sambora's problem was not disclosed.

This has been a challenging year for Sambora. His divorce from Heather Locklear was finalized in April and he split from actress Denise Richards several months ago after dating for about a year. His father passed away after a battle with lung cancer earlier this year.

"Richie has had a terrible year," a close friend of the musician tells People. "I think this was a culmination of all these things and finally he realized he needed to take care of himself. He'd put off everything for so long taking care of everyone else it was just time to stop and deal with his issues."
