I wouldn't have come out of darkness without her: Jon Bon Jovi

London: The 54-year-old rocker has revealed that following the abrupt departure of guitarist Richie Sambora from his band ‘Bon Jovi’ in 2013, his wife helped him overcome the turmoil, reported Femalefirst.

"There was a lot of darkness, really. I was going through a difficult period and it felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders," he said.

Jovi said had his wife not been there with him he would have never come out of the trauma.

"It was a very, very difficult time that I haven't fully rebounded from yet but my wife has been phenomenal. Without her, I am not sure how I would have coped," he said.
