So Keith's night was a mirror ball thousands of miles away.......
Bon Jovi was supposed to jump start the return of Unplugged to MTV, but their taping of the show on Tuesday was a complete and utter disaster, multiple sources confirm exclusively to PerezHilton.com.
Bon Jovi recorded their Unplugged - which will air cross-platform on MTV, VH1 and CMT - in Brooklyn on Tuesday night for about 400 fans or so and Richie Sambora was blitzed the whole time.
"They had a whole bunch of musicians on stage for most of the night to cover his mistakes on the guitar and would turn his mic off so he couldn't be off key," a spywitness tells us.
Seems Denise Richards' ex-boyfriend was partying too hard before the show!
Towards the end of the show, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie were on stage alone and Jon goes on to tell the story about how they started acoustically at the MTV VMAs once and.... "This is how Unplugged started...."
A shocked source reveals, "As Wanted Dead or Alive started, Richie couldn't play along! During the song Jon stops and makes Richie start again and after the second take was finished the show was supposed to be over but Jon had the whole band come on stage to re-record the song a third time so Richie couldn't mess it up! Jon was clearly upset, but kept it together and handled it like a true pro!"
The folks at MTV will have fun editing this one!

Richie Sambora Enters Treatment Facility

Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora entered an undisclosed treatment facility on Wednesday, a rep for the band tells PEOPLE exclusively.
"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.
It has been a difficult year for Sambora, 47. He and actress Denise Richards broke up several months ago after dating for about a year. In April, his divorce from Heather Locklear was finalized. And that same month, his father died of lung cancer. (Richards accompanied Sambora to the funeral as a show of support, though they had ended their relationship by that point.)
"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."
It is not clear how Sambora's treatment will affect his role in Bon Jovi. The band's new album, Lost Highway, is due out June 19.
The group is scheduled to play some tour dates this summer, beginning June 24 in London, but it is a relatively light schedule. A much larger tour is being planned for 2008.
The band is also set to appear on an upcoming episode of MTV's Unplugged, which was taped in New York on Tuesday. MTV was inspired to created the Unplugged series in part by Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi playing acoustic at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards.

Since I dislike Bon Jovi music, this doesn't help me reconcile Keith's problem. |

This is just another case of a lesser guitarist trying to ape Keith Richards! The difference here being that at least Sambora has the common sense to try and get his shit together. Something that Keith will most likely reject just to keep his image intact. Afterall playing on stage when sober just ain't rock and roll. Or so we're led to believe.

I still stand by my recommendation that no one from the US/Canada/Mexico/Costa Rica/South America/India travel to the Euro shows, it is just too much to bear! |

I try not to wish ill things on anyone, but I loathe Bon Jovi and everyone in that group so much, that it makes it hard to feel much empathy for the current state of afairs in Bon's world. |

look, alcohol makes him play shite but he's made it as per twickenham 03', so forget it, he's not an alcoholic, not that that would necessarily humiliate him |

"Treatment"?
Do you know who needs treatment or rehab?
Well I don't know, that's why I'm asking. |
