Richie Sambora, Phil X Perform at Rock for Responders Concert in San Pedro

Richie Sambora made a surprise appearance at the Rock for Responders Concert on February 27, performing Bon Jovi's iconic hit 'Livin' on a Prayer' alongside Phil X, who replaced him in the band, and guitarist Orianthi. The concert, held at the Battleship IOWA Museum in San Pedro, California, honored Los Angeles' first responders and military personnel, featuring a lineup that included the supergroup Kings of Chaos. Sambora's return to the stage was notable as he had left Bon Jovi in 2013, and his performance was well received by fans. The event highlighted the contributions of emergency services and was organized by the Pacific Battlefield Center in collaboration with local partners. Sambora has a history of supporting military families and has expressed his commitment to charitable causes in the past. The concert served as a reminder of his legacy with Bon Jovi and the enduring appeal of their music.
