Street honour for Richie Sambora

Wednesday November 25 2009

Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora has had a street in his hometown named after him.

The guitarist can now take a stroll down Richie Sambora Way whenever he heads back to Woodbridge, New Jersey.

Sambora, 50, joined residents and public officials as the street was named in his honour this week.

The rocker has launched a fundraising effort called, You Can Go Home, to give back to the community. The programme benefits Woodbridge teen Kelly Mahon, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour two years ago.

He also financed the new weight room at his alma mater, Woodbridge High School.
