Richie Sambora hasn’t just been on vacation while playing hooky from the globe-trotting Bon Jovi, he’s just released a new solo single. Ultimate Classic Rock reported that the new track, “Come Back As Me,” which has been initially posted as a YouTube upload, might be addressing his current issues with Jon Bon Jovi and his place in the band’s pecking order, with such lines as: “What do you want me to say/I gave you everything I could give/But everything just wasn’t enough, so I just let live and live” There’s been no word as to when the song will be available for digital download, or whether it’s a teaser for a larger project.
