Actually he does look a good inch shorter than Kid Rock.... Has he lost an inch at 63 though?

Check this out. Richie recently on the masked singer. According to the web (and his wife) the host is 5 foot 11. Richie seems to be around the 5 foot 9-10 range here….what do you think?
Editor Rob
Could look 5ft 10 there.
You can't use that to judge his height LOL!!! With James Taylor Click Here Richie can even look as short as Jon in some pics when not standing well! I'm astounded that that host in the pink jacket and camp voice has a wife...

I think like most celebrities has a monolithic whopper of a lie about his height on the web. So 5ft 10 it is.

Bruh he ain't more than 5'9. I saw my 6'1 dad next to him and he had a good 4-5 inches on him.

He's rather attractive and positively tall for a rock star, as I have been finding out recently!

Catch him in cowboy boots and posture and he is well over 5' 11.5".

This is accurate. 2.5 inches taller than Jon and slightly shorter than Dave Grohl. His relaxed posture makes him look only 5' 11" a lot though.

Spot on now as a barefoot guess I think Rob, thanks. I think he can look around 6'1" in shoes but he tends to wear the Cuban type heels which probably give 1.5 inches. He can look shorter and barely look 5'11 at times, but a lot of the photos are distorted with posture and angle and I'm sure Jon's footwear is inflated a lot of the time. Jon can also looked close in the height to Dave Bryan too who is a similar height to Richie and roughly 6ft. Jon's 5'9" by his own admission though so something isn't right! Richie looked about 6 inches taller than Denise Richards barefoot, so I think 182 is more likely than 180 anyway..

That's the real height difference when you see them on stage in person, about 3 inchs. I think you're undercooking him with 180, but 5'11.5" is certainly possible.I agree he can often look this low but he was listed at 6'2" for a long time! I think he looks similar in height and features to Mads Mikkelsen who you have at 182.

Jon generally tends to look 1-2 inches taller than he did in the early 90s. He used to look about 3 inches shorter than Richie and Dave Bryan who are about 6ft but in the last few years he's been looking barely an inch shorter. If you see Jon barefoot 5'9 is questionable, but in footwear in clothes he generally looks a good 5'10 to me. Do lifts explain Jon's gain or have the others actually shrunk?

It isn't true that they're the same height. I've seen them live several times and he looks about 6 ft. I'm not sure he is as low as 5'11" flat but I could buy 182,

Is sambora really genuine a 6 footer rob? He does often come across as a tall guy but recently I've noticed when he stands next to jon bon jovi who's 5ft 9 and he's either the same height or just light taller, do you think he could be more a 5ft 9-10 himself?

If you watch Bon jovi in concert (live or DVD etc) sambora does indeed look around the 6 foot range. Id have said 6 foot tall having seen Bon jovi in concert and on YouTube etc. Might I add what a fantastic guitarist !
He sounds superb in a stadium, agreed, but technically he's nowhere near the level of some of the instrumental and jazz guitarists. But as a rockstar in a rock band, agree his sound is absolutely amazing live and that's what matters to most!

Yeah he can look 5'11" range a lot, I think he's similar height to Mads Mikelsen and they look a little alike actually. He could be 182. But he's got long legs for his height, I was watching a concert last night and he was wearing long tight grey jeans and he was actually looking 6'2" by proportions but he was wearing cowboy boots so probably is near that height in them.

He can look 6 ft 1 a lot in my opinion. Barefoot next to Denise Richards from what I''ve seen he's looking about 6 inches taller and I think he genuinely around 6 ft.

Jon is only 5'5 but he wears those 3 inch stacked heeled cowboy boots so that makes him look 5'8...so Richie's got some height on Jon,so yeah 5'11 or 6'0 is good
He has a good 4 inches on Tico Torres who I think is actually 5'5"-5'6", probably 5'5.5". Jon always looks a strong 5'9" in my opinion.

Actually at 1:!4 Vaughn steps forward and they look similar range, probably because Sambora is closer to the camera he looks much taller.. I would still estimate Johnny Vaughn at 5'11" You ought to have a page for him.

Johnny Vaughn is listed at 6'0 yet Sambora somehow looks 2-3 inches taller than him. Vaughn looks barely an inch taller than 5'9" Jon. Do you think it more likely Johnny Vaughn is 5'10" and Sambora a strong 6'?

Oops, forgot he was wearing cowboy boots, so subtract 1"-1.5"... so you guys at around 6' are probably right.

saw him on the Hi-Line in NYC about a year ago, looked north of 6', more like 6'1-2"... I'm 6'4", and am a good judge of height. Saw Kevin Bacon too, who looked 5'9" ish, but is skinny so he might be a touch taller.

Definitely not 6'. At my work, there's pictures of my boss and random musicians he's met (it's a music store). My boss is around 5'4.5"/5'5". I'm 5'10", and I remember when seeing the picture for the first time I was surprised to find he was roughly my size, maybe a little more in comparison to my boss. Definitely no more than 5'11" as posted below. I'd go as low as 5'10" easily. He also has a pic with Jon Bon Jovi in which my boss and Jon look almost exactly the same height, found that humorous.

your points are true Brad,and I love your estimations.but my point was that, this was the same moment of Shania.so I went from 5-5 to 5-10.except,I didnt put on lifts or boots.Shania mustve had monster heels,and I bent my knees,in fact,I think a barricade was in my way.as for the Rich pic,Stallone stance mode.
