Jon Bon Jovi is a snowbird — the nickname given to people of a certain age who flee their northern homes during the winter months to areas with warmer climates.
It’s late April and the famous New Jersey native is in Palm Beach, Fla.
“My license still says the great state of New Jersey,” the Bon Jovi frontman tells me on this week’s “Just for Variety” podcast. “I’m there when it’s not cold. But when it’s cold, these old bones are on the beach.”
The rocker, 62, is talking and thinking a lot about his age lately. While his Hulu docuseries, “Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story,” chronicles the iconic rock band’s rise to the top, the through line of the four episodes is the singer’s struggle to overcome vocal problems in time for the group’s 40th anniversary tour.

Bon Jovi surprised fans with a five-song set at the grand opening of frontman Jon Bon Jovi’s new bar in Nashville. It marked a rare performance for the band, as the singer’s vocal issues have kept the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame act from touring for the past couple years.
Jbj’s Nashville, a five-story restaurant and bar with two outdoor rooftops, opened on Saturday (June 8th). Bon Jovi gave the attendees a thrill when they appeared for the unannounced performance.
The band kicked things off with “Blood on Blood” from 1988’s New Jersey album, and followed with “We Weren’t Born to Follow,” mega-hit “You Give Love a Bad Name,” and “Born to Be My Baby.” The set closed with recent single “Legendary” from the new album Forever.
The Nashville set marked only the second Bon Jovi gig since their 2022 tour wrapped in May 2022, following a brief...

Jon Bon Jovi is apparently open to the idea of Richie Sambora returning to rock with Bon Jovi again over 11 years after he originally left the band in the middle of a tour. The thing is, whether he returns or not depends on one thing.
Jon Bon Jovi – Says Touring Is the Only Thing That Would Reunite the Band With Richie Sambora
Just so you know, there is no bad blood between Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, and though it’s been 11 years since the pair enjoyed a close working relationship, the rocker still believes the band may get to rock with Richie one more time.
Sambora was Bon Jovi’s main guitarist before he departed the band in 2013. Since that time, Sambora and the band’s frontman, Jon Bon Jovi, have had limited communication, even though it is said that there wasn’t any lingering hatred between the two.

Kelly Clarkson has been earning praise from fans after she had a hilarious moment with rocker Jon Bon Jovi on her talk show this week.
Jon was a guest on The Kelly Clarkson Show to promote Bon Jovi’s latest album, Forever, which dropped today.
To honor the band, which celebrates 40 years since their first album dropped this year, Kelly was set to sing Blaze of Glory.
Kelly struggled to perform the song during rehearsal because she simply couldn’t read the words.
The official Instagram account for The Kelly Clarkson Show featured Kelly screwing up the words on many takes.
Thankfully, Jon soon came out to rescue Kelly, and her reaction to all of it had her fans buzzing and us cracking up laughing.

At its core, documentary filmmaking is an intimate process. The filmmakers are asking their subjects to bring their truest selves to the table — and that can be difficult when those subjects are rock stars who are used to being asked probing questions.
“These music groups who have been around forever, they have the pat answer. They’ve been asked the same question a million times,” said director Frank Marshall, whose latest documentary “The Beach Boys,” chronicles the group’s six decades in the spotlight. “You have to spend the time with them and get their trust in order for them to dig down under and get the real authentic answers.”
Gotham Chopra — who joined Marshall, Lance Oppenheim (“Spermworld” director), Joie Jacoby (“Black Twitter: A People’s History” showrunner and executive producer) and Maria Wilhelm (“Secrets of the Octopus” executive producer) at Variety’s TV FYC Fest to discuss the documentary medium...

Jon Bon Jovi played a big part in helping to break Skid Row in the ’80s, and now he’s urging Lzzy Hale to stay on as the veteran rock band’s permanent singer.
Skid Row’s Dave “The Snake” Sabo was childhood friends with Jon in New Jersey, and was very briefly the first guitarist for the band Bon Jovi prior to Richie Sambora’s arrival. Jon eventually helped Skid Row secure their first record deal.

In a video segment with Rock Sound, Jon was presented with questions from fellow rock stars. One of the questions came from Lzzy Hale.

Clarkson shared a blooper clip on Thursday as she went through a performance of Bon Jovi’s “Blaze of Glory” for her latest “Kellyoke,” flubbing the words during several takes.

This article from the Disney+ series The Acolyte (2024) Season 1 Episode 1, “Pilot” contains significant spoilers.
The Acolyte’s opening infographic reads: “A hundred years before the rise of the Empire, it is a time of peace. The Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic have prospered for centuries without war. But in the dark corners of the galaxy, a powerful few learn to use the Force in secret. One of them, a long assassin, risks discovery to seek revenge.”
The opening scenes of the pilot of The Acolyte are exciting. They feature an action-packed hand-to-hand combat scene between a mysterious young woman with cat-like eyes and a Jedi who looks just like Trinity from The Matrix. Her name is Indara (Carrie-Ann Moss), and she is about to die saving another.

In this day and age, singers and performers can make a quick buck on the side by selling their music catalog. Justin Bieber’s done it, Katy Perry’s done it, but Jon Bon Jovi won’t do it. And the answer all comes back to money.
Jon Bon Jovi – Says Their Music Catalog Has “Grown Exponentially” Through The Years
You won’t find Jon Bon Jovi in the lineup of the people who want to sell their music catalogs. Nope, keep the huge one-off payday, this star’s going to keep the rights to his music.
Bon Jovi has a mentor in former songwriting partner Richie Sambora, who sold his catalog in 2020 after exiting the band in 2013. This included his copyright to hits that he co-wrote with the frontman.
While Bon Jovi and Sambora may be chill, the former has no intentions to follow in the latter’s footsteps.

For years, the panelists on “The Masked Singer” have thrown out names like Corey Feldman, Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken while trying to figure out what celebrities were disguised on stage. This week, those names finally became true.
“The Masked Singer” revealed the latest celebrities to be revealed on Wednesday night’s Group B finale, and it was Feldman as the Seal and Studdard/Aiken together as the Beets.
“For about 25 years, there was this kind of dark age where nobody really wanted to admit that my music was a real thing or that it existed or that I was doing it on a full capacity,” Feldman told Variety. “It was kind of overlooked and ignored for a long time.

It’s hard to picture so many rock bands without the lead vocalist and guitarist pairings: Mick and Keith, Steven and Joe, Jon and Richie…But not all of these partnerships last. It has now been over a decade since Richie Sambora left Bon Jovi. And while he doesn’t regret the decision to leave the arena rockers after 30 years of hits and hairspray, he’s not entirely proud of how he did it.
Ahead of the second leg of their 2013 Because We Can Tour, Richie Sambora left Bon Jovi, undoubtedly the biggest change in membership for the band since forming in the early ‘80s. But with so much bad medicine in his mouth, he had no choice.

Los Angeles, April 28 (Ians) ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’ could very well be one of the most loved songs but its creator, Jon Bon Jovi wasn’t impressed with the song initially.
The 62-year-old rock icon recently opened up about his four-decades-long career and recalled that he didn’t initially connect with the band’s chart-topping 1986 hit, reports ‘People’ magazine.
He told ‘People’, “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.”
Upon writing the song, “it was the simple chord progression, the melodies and the lyrics” at first. “But the bass line came to life in the demo studio, when we took it back to the band and worked it up,” reflected the Grammy winner. “That’s how it became what it is”.
He further mentioned, “We knew what we wanted, we just didn’t have it,...

Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love a Bad Name” remains one of the most beloved classic rock songs of the 1980s. Bon Jovi’s co-writer said he wrote it in a place that reminded him of an infamous scene from a horror film. Fascinatingly, the lyrics of an earlier Bon Jovi song partially inspired “You Give Love a Bad Name.”
Bon Jovi’s ‘You Give Love a Bad Name’ has a connection to Kiss
Desmond Child is a professional songwriter who became famous for working with classic rock acts like Alice Cooper (“Poison”), Aerosmith (“Dude Looks Like a Lady”), and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (“I Hate Myself for Lovin’ You”), as well as pop singers such as Katy Perry (“Waking Up in Vegas”), Ricky Martin (“Livin’ la Vida Loca”), and Ava Max (“Kings & Queens”). One of his most famous songs is Kiss’ disco/hard rock smash “I Was Made for Lovin’ You.

One of the most overexposed classic rock songs ever is Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer” — and yet, some fans miss its meaning. Jon Bon Jovi revealed the tune was inspired by one of the defining political ideas of the 1980s. On top of that, “Livin’ on a Prayer” was influenced by the singer’s romantic life.
How Ronald Reagan inspired Bon Jovi’s ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’
On the surface, “Livin’ on a Prayer” is a song about a couple trying to make a life for themselves while they don’t have much money. It’s easy to understand the tune as a simple self-empowerment anthem. However, Jon Bon Jovi himself connected it to the political milieu of the 1980s.

There was a time not so long ago when limited series were just that: limited. In a post-“Big Little Lies” existence, however, series are limited only until a network executive decides they’re not. For now, FX’s critically acclaimed “Shōgun,” a striking 10-episode historical epic about warring factions in Japan, remains a limited series, having this week reached the end of its source material, James Clavell’s 1975 novel of the same name. The series finale, “A Dream of a Dream,” is now streaming on Hulu, and after picking up in the aftermath of Mariko’s (Anna Sawai) death, manages to complete its narrative arc in emotionally satisfying fashion.
Since its debut in late February, the endlessly compelling (and surprisingly funny) series has captivated viewers, reminding us of the thrills of event TV. Each episode was bigger than the one that came before it, right up until the end.

After a 35-year marriage, music legend Jon Bon Jovi is still figuring out what has made his love affair with Dorothea Hurley so successful. However, he realizes that her greatest role in their family is that she’s “the glue” keeping it all together.

The longevity of Jon Bon Jovi’s marriage to Dorothea Hurley can be traced to one thing: they genuinely love each other. They fell for one another in high school and maintained a relationship since their teens.

Here is an incomplete list of people who might really enjoy Hulu’s Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story: Longtime Bon Jovi fans, who know this story by heart but love it enough to want to hear it again. More recent converts, eager to fill in the gaps of their knowledge. Individuals who are deeply invested in Jon Bon Jovi as a person, and wondering how he’s been. Jon himself, presumably — though the frontman has stressed that he did not have final cut, director Gotham Chopra has assembled a portrait as reverent as any celebrity might reasonably hope for.
Everyone else — the casual listeners, the total newbies, the gossips and (at least in my case) the critics — can probably keep walking. Thank You, Goodnight is a perfectly nice retrospective, approachable and amiable and affectionate. But that’s not the same thing as saying it’s a particularly insightful one.

Bon Jovi Celebrates 40th Anniversary with Hulu Docuseries
Bon Jovi has fans in many countries around the world, but the band got its start in a small town in New Jersey in the early 1980s. The original band consisted of keyboardist David Bryan, vocalist and band namesake Jon Bon Jovi, drummer Tico Torres, bassist Alec John Such and guitarist Richie Sambora.
It wasn’t until they released their third album, Slippery When Wet, that they gained fame. The album included three top 10 singles, including their most popular song, “Livin’ on a Prayer.”

Bon Jovi has fans in many countries around the world, but the band got its start in a small town in New Jersey in the early 1980s.
