According to the Daily Mail Online, former Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora is under investigation for allegedly threating to kill Nikki Lund, his former business partner and on again / off again girlfriend.

From the report:

“The ex Bon Jovi guitarist, 55, allegedly told former business partner Nikki Lund he would ‘dig a hole in the desert and bury her’, Daily Mail Online can exclusively reveal.

Sambora is said to have made the chilling threat during a blazing telephone argument on March 19.

His shaken former flame decided to report the allegation to authorities a week later.”

A representive for Sambroa said that the investigation, which is taking place in Los Angelese, CA, “is a cluster of fabricated lies in retaliation for Mr Sambora’s decision to cease further funding of the unprofitable partnership, plain and simple.”
