Bon Jovi‘s “Livin’ on a Prayer” was a multi-platinum international Top 5 smash that topped the American charts for an entire month in 1987. This no doubt came as a surprise to the group’s frontman, who really didn’t like the song when it was first written. “It wasn’t that I didn’t want to record it, but I wasn’t all that impressed on the day that we wrote it,” Jon Bon Jovi tells People magazine. “It was the simple chord progression, the melodies and the lyrics.” Then Hugh McDonald made an uncredited contribution, and “Livin’ on a Prayer” suddenly had new momentum. “The bass line came to life i...

Jon Bon Jovi understands now that he was told a white lie about the recovery time needed following his potentially career-ending vocal surgery. He sought out advice from Shania Twain before going under the knife, since the country star had the same procedure with the same medical team. She wasn’t completely forthcoming about how long it would take to return to the concert trail. “Not only did she reassure me that it would be OK, but I think she also pulled my leg a little bit because she told me I’d be out there a lot sooner than I have been,” Bon Jovi says in his new documentary Thank You, Go...

In the past few years, technological advancements have helped keep some acts’ material onstage, even though the artists themselves were not there. The most notable examples are ABBA and Ronnie James Dio, who each launched hologram concerts. Similarly, Kiss turned heads at the conclusion of their End of the Road farewell tour, when they revealed that they would continue forth as a virtual band made up of avatars. Asked whether his group would ever consider such a move, Bon Jovi was open minded. “I don’t think...

Jon Bon Jovi revealed the last song he’d sing if his performing career is drawing to a close – and admitted it wasn’t what most people would expect. His future remains in doubt after he underwent vocal cord surgery in 2022.

Die US-Rockband Bon Jovi («Living On A Prayer», «It's My Life») feiert in diesem Jahr das 40. Jubiläum ihres Debütalbums. Dass der Gruppe aus New Jersey in den 1980er-Jahren der internationale Durchbruch gelang und sie bis heute erfolgreich ist, liegt laut Frontmann Jon Bon Jovi vor allem an harter Arbeit. «Es gab sicherlich talentiertere Jungs, die man in jeder Eckkneipe finden konnte», sagte der 62-Jährige der Deutschen Presse-Agentur in London. «Aber wir hatten die Arbeitseinstellung. Ich habe mich 40 Jahre voll drauf konzentriert, es zu schaffen, nicht einmal, sondern immer und immer wiede...
