Description

This fascinating biography provides a detailed portrait of the high-energy, charismatic international superstar and frontman of the ever-popular band, Bon Jovi. The book charts Jon's relationship with the other band members who have their fair share of rock and roll stories — sex, booze, burnouts, health, and women problems.

Although rock music is Jon Bon Jovi's first love, he has more recently developed an interest in acting, starring in various hit TV shows such as Ally McBeal and Sex and the City, and attracting critical acclaim for his role in the World War II hit film, U-571. He has also scored film music, with his score for Young Guns earning him an Oscar nomination.

Bestselling writer Laura Jackson explores the personality, character, drive, and determination that have taken him from playing New Jersey clubs through all the groupie excess and glamorous indulgence to where the band is today. Two new chapters in this updated edition detail his recent work for charity, his involvement in politics and football, and also give an update on the band's new albums and tours.
