Sambora did manage to fit in a short US tour of the album with all the album’s main players, including his Bon Jovi bandmates. The shows obviously attracted lots of Bon Jovi fans, who were happy to get some songs from that band as well, but crucially it gave the songs on the Stranger In This Town album a chance to show that they worked really well in a live setting as well. While their albums and tours were smashing successes, there was a human cost. As the New Jersey tour drew to a close, the band members were exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally. Relationships within the band had also become strained. They needed a break from each other. Following the last tour date in Mexico in February 1990, the band members just dispersed and went home individually. There was no tour wrap party or celebrations of any kind, and hardly any goodbyes were exchanged. They did not even have any plans for their future. They just desperately needed to get away, and even to consider a future at that point was too much.
