On October 26 at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, “A Evening Of Conversation,” with Jon Bon Jovi and Stephen Colbert, will be part of this year’s Montclair Film Festival.

It happened in Tennessee. Jon Bon Jovi, 62, in the middle of a photo shoot on a Nashville bridge, notices, out of the corner of his eye, a woman seemingly going to commit suicide by standing on the other side of the bridge looking down.

The new Bon Jovi ‘Forever’ album lands June 7 but “Legendary,” its first single, is out now. The album is the iconic band’s 16th studio release in 41 years (they formed in Sayreville, Middlesex County, in 1983). Longtime members Tico Torres and David Bryan are intact. Guitarist Phil X replaced Richie Sambora. Bassist Hugh McDonald replaced Alec John Such who died in 2022.

They came out in full force to honor Jon Bon Jovi at the Los Angeles Convention Center on February 2 as the 2024 Music Cares Person of the Year: Paul McCartney, Desmond Child, Rita Wilson, Nile Rodgers, Nancy Pelosi, Larkin Poe, Wolfgang Van Halen, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen and others.

Recorded in a Nashville church, “Christmas Isn’t Christmas” is the first new music from Bon Jovi since the release of the band’s 15th album ‘2020.’

The Grammy people (NARAS) has named one of our own, Jon Bon Jovi, as the 2024 MusiCares Person Of The Year. The gala event—with artists interpreting his songs—takes place at the Los Angeles Convention Center on February 2 before the February 4 Grammys.

Jon Bon Jovi has joined a growing list of artists donating personal artifacts in support of Raven Drum Foundation’s third annual online “12 Drummers Drumming” charity auction. Co-Founded by Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen to benefit veterans, first-responders and trauma survivors, over $120,000 has been raised so far.

How many people know that today, Bon Jovi and wife Dorothea operate three non-profit restaurants with no prices on the menu. The JBJ Soul Kitchen Community Restaurants features a pay-what-you-can premise that has been helping people in Red Bank, Toms River and Newark for years.
