Bon Jovi's drummer Tico Torres keeps a low profile. That's why it came as a surprise to him to hear that he was retiring.

Earlier this month on the Bon Jovi Talk podcast, keyboardist David Bryan talked about starting the band with Jon Bon Jovi in 1978 when they were 16, adding that they are the only two remaining original members.

This led to fans thinking Torres -- who joined in 1983 -- retired, which is not the case. So on Monday, to ease everyone's concern, Torres posted a video (WARNING: OBSCENITY. NSFW) on social media to clear things up. "I'm here to dispel a lot of rumors that I've read, people calling me up, saying, 'Did you retire from music, from the band?' Well, no. I have no idea how this stuff starts."

The irony is that Bon Jovi are appear to be somewhat retired, at least from performing, as they've only done one show -- this past June -- since 2022 when Jon had vocal surgery.
