Jon Bon Jovi is among one of the people most admired by me. lets take down a trip of his life to know how he became a living legend.
Jon Bon Jovi was born to two former marines, barber John Francis Bongiovi Sr. and Playboy Bunny turned florist Carol Sharkey.
he most most of his high school skipping school opting for a carrier in music. he recorded the single Runaway in 1982. it was rejected at all recording stations. he had a meeting with a rock stations' promotion director and the song was included in their local talent album. soon, h got a deal with mercury records. he called up David Bryan who recruited Alec John Such and Tico Torres. the position for a lea guitarist was empty and Jon Bon Jovi's neighbor Dave Sambo joined in. later he was replaced by Richie Sambora. the band's name Bon Jovi was suggested by a friend.
The band went on to release their first album Bon Jovi on January 21,1984.
The band went on to two consecutive road shows following their success. The Slippery When Wet and New Jersey Tour left the band members tired physically, emotionally and mentally. They went on to more than 230 shows in five continents. After the tour ended, all the members left in different jets. During the New Jersey Syndicate Tour, he secretly took a trip from LA to Las Vegas to marry his High School girlfriend Dorothea Hurley in 1989.
In 1991, a year after the band membes went their seperate ways, he strted workin on his first solo album. However, unsatisfied with his life, he took a cross country trip in the summer.
In September of that same year, he fired all of the band's staff creating Bon Jovi Management. After that he got the band back together and resolved their issues. They returned with the album Keep The Faith in late 1992. he also recorded his second solo album Destination Anywhere. In 2000, they released their album Crush whose lead single, It's My Life peaked at no.1.
