Richie Sambora is the latest sort-of celebrity to go to rehab. It’s unknown where he is, and he is said to be an “undisclosed facility” in Los Angeles.

No one is sure why Sambora is in rehab, but he’s been rumored to have drinking problems. The National Enquirer reported recently that Denise Richards left him because he was drinking all the time to cope with the loss of his father to cancer. In February he was said to have smashed his car through the closed gate outside to his house when he was driving drunk.

Sambora was also said to be begging his ex wife of 11 years, Heather Locklear, for another chance, but she has since moved on and is dating her old Melrose Place costar, Jack Wagner.

Sambora’s rep confirms that the Bon Jovi guitarist is getting treatment for his addictions in a statement:

“Richie Sambora has entered an undisclosed treatment facility in Los Angeles. He asks that you respect he and his family’s privacy at this time.”
