Fans first observed swelling in his hand during a recent live performance. Medical evaluation later confirmed the extent of the damage.
Sambora had maintained an active presence in the music scene before this setback.
Blabbermouth reported and highlighted his recent appearance at the ‘Rock For Responders’ benefit concert. The guitarist shared the stage with Phil X to perform Bon Jovi’s ‘Livin’ On A Prayer.’
The veteran musician also delivered a memorable performance at The Galt House Hotel in Louisville before the injury occurred. Medical records indicate no previous hand injuries that affected his guitar playing. This current setback presents a new challenge for the accomplished musician.
Data from Songkick indicates that no scheduled concert dates for Sambora this year. This gap in scheduling may provide sufficient time for his recovery without affecting any immediate touring plans.
