Jon Bon Jovi continues to be the most loved musician on the earth! But will his next destination be the world of politics? Well, that’s for him to decide; till then, his fans can have the time of their life by grooving at his concerts and on his albums.
With cropped hair and a sexy smile, Bon Jovi continues to win hearts with every tune of his band. At 45, he can boast of album sales of about 120 million. This is the same guy who swept floors at the recording studio of his cousin Tony Bongiovi at the age of 17!
For those rare souls who aren’t familiar with this pop legend, Bon Jovi (his complete name is John Francis Bongiovi Jr.) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and actor. He founded the rock band under the name of Bon Jovi and is its lead singer. This band has sold more than 100 million albums across the continents!
After a traumatic flick with marijuana during his teenage years, he stays miles away from drugs. He has been married to his childhood sweetheart Dorothea for the last 17 years.
It was not a bed of roses for Bon Jovi to achieve what he has today. It was in 1980 when the recording of “Christmas in the Stars: The Star Wars Christmas” album was been done in the presence of Meco. His cousin Tony recommended John for his song “R2-D2 We Wish You A Merry Christmas.” This was John’s first recording in a professional way.
Later, he had a short stint with the band ‘Scandal’. His raw talent was noticed by Mercury Records and Atlantic Records. Bon Jovi had already started a band under his initials and endeavored to unveil his talent. This step proved to be a success, as record executive Derek Shulman entered John into an agreement with Mercury Records, which was a part of the famous company named PolyGram.
After this, the band named Bon Jovi came into being. With the manager Doc McGhee’s help, ‘Bon Jovi’ released its debut album named “Bon Jovi” on January 21, 1984. It was a huge success and sold over 500,000 copies in the US alone. It achieved ‘gold’ status and was, later, released in UK. The sensation had begun!
The band’s revolutionary album “Slippery When Wet” was a tribute to the strip clubs of Vancouver. The pop-rock anthems of this album honored blue-collar, macho heroes.
And now, the band is ready with their latest album “Lost Highway”. It has been recorded in Nashville and will be released in Sydney soon. It consists of a duet with LeAnn Rimes, the nation’s music superstar. This album, too, is based on an interesting theme.
If you wish to catch this electrifying band during their tour to support their newest album, book your tickets without delay. Rather than visiting the box office, it’s better to dial a number of ticketing services or order tickets online.
You can’t afford to remain aloof if a sensational event is happening in your city!
