I respect that he won't fake it on stage. I'm glad he's finally keeping it real with his vocal struggles.
-ikr ... !-
But it took two years with horrible performances to admit he had a problem.
@@mikegrassman4773 When you're under contract for performances and folks are on payroll you don't admit to problems because it affects sales, which affects those people working on crew all the way down the line. JBJ can handle not having a good tour dollar-wise. Joe the stagehand has three kids and bills to pay.
@@mikegrassman4773its really difficult to admit you cant do what you love to do all your life
David Lee Roth should take the hint, he sounds like sh*t nowadays
Prayers up for Jon Bon Jovi. He is a good guy. I remember when he opened a restaurant to help people. He told them to pay what they could. Much love to Jon. He is a wonderful person.
Nice. Didn't know that.
That restaurant still exists: JBJ Soul Kitchen, and the terms are the same: pay what you can and/or pay it forward and buy someone else a meal. He's and Dorothea are such good doobies. :)
The JBJ foundation actually has four restaurants that run on the same pay it forward philosophy.
Great guy I'm jersey he's a total jersey guy I know if you're not from here you don't know what I mean but him and Dorthia doing tremendous humanitarian work here and beyond 👏 ❤ so proud of him and the boss too
Indeed 😊
A Bon Jovi fan from day one. I think we all were shocked and saddened when Richie left. He didnt leave the right way but he had some issues to deal with, havent we all. He did give us 30 great years . Its not the same without him...the dynamic between him and Jon wont be replicated. I wish Jon a full recovery to get out there and rock a million more faces. Would be nice to see Richie rock a few too.
I absolutely respect the hell out of this man. What a life. What a legacy. Keep searching for more happiness!
I hope him and Richie can settle up and reunite, the band really need Richie
I got married in 1988 and Bon Jovi has literally written the soundtrack to my life with my wife. About 4 years ago I sat down and picked song after song after song from Bon Jovi that has told the most important things that have happened in my life. Starting with Living on a prayer when I got my wife pregnant and I was but 17 years old. I can name event after event after event in my life, both happy, sad, and eventful over my 35 years with my wife, my teaching career, my coaching career and Bon Jovi has a song that points right to that event. Im not joking, I had probably 30 songs that described my life. It was painful for me to see him struggle on stage. I LOVE this man. Wanted Dead or Alive is in my top 5 songs ever and is my go to Karaoke song. I am praying he is well enough to keep going. But if he isnt, he should rest easy knowing that hes seen a million faces, and he rocked them all. Love you JBJ.
And isn't it amazing to be able to sit down and do that, and find not only does it all flood back but it's somehow richer with it!?! I wasn't a huge fan at the time, but the catalogue just stands up so well both on its own and against those who aren't around to make a 40yrs movie even if we wanted to.
Thanks for sharing! What a beautiful story.
Jbj is one of my go tos for karaoke too. Blaze of Glory is my all time favorite to sing.
It was always bubblegum rock. He only knows 4 chords. His songs all sound the same. Sambora was the true talent
@@chrisk920 I don't care if you wanna call it bubble gum rock I freaking LOVE IT no matter what anyone calls it!!!
Also the entire Young Guns 2 soundtrack he released is THE SHIZ!!!!!!
@chrisk920 What is "bubble gum rock".. seriously & genuinely!? It makes no sense. Bon Jovi was a rock n roll band. Simple & straight. Millions of ppl obviously loved them & went to their sold out shows. So what's Guns n Rose's then!? Bc they only had harder lyrics & more guitar riffs..Slash is the best in that genre/time/recognizable riffs. But it was Jon that wrote most of the songs & Sambora mainly the guitar & lyrics with Jon on only some of their songs. I was lucky enough to meet them at their prime..60K sold out stadiums. I spent time with both Jon , Richie & though I was way too young to appreciate how lucky I was, I knew how special it was too. I knew his long time body guard & was good friends with his brother who was a VIP body guard in Australia at thar time that I was living there for modeling. Yeah I was too young but millions live this band & they deserve credit as America's all time greats in the same vein as Springsteen. Appreciate what they were for who they were. He won't be here for long..
Jon looks tired, also looks like he struggles with something internally , like all of us. you can tell he's a perfectionist
Yup, life is pointless and tiring without the Lord. Especially hard for those who "made it" because they think it will deliver the ultimate satisfaction but it doesn't. Jesus said, “Come to Me , all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30) From one Jersey boy to another (only a couple of towns over) I'm praying for you to meet Him and know ...
No he looks 62 and pretty good too
In psychology perfectionism is the highest form of self abuse, but whether musicians or athletes, that psychosis is what makes them great (I wish these dudes would stop with the Botox)
@@reverentialrock
Amen. Praise Jesus.
@@reverentialrock You know for a fact Jon doesn't have spiritual values?? That's HIS biz, not yours.
As a Bon Jovi and Jon Bon Jovi fan since 1984, I teared up during this honest and touching interview. Jon has been invincible during the majority of his career. To hear him acknowledge a serious health issue that could have ended his stellar career was heartbreaking, but he has the courage to tell the truth and share his struggle. And he refuses to short-change fans by lip-syncing! I’ve experienced a chronic illness in the past two years and felt like giving up, but Jon has encouraged me to “never give up.” He is an amazing, genuine, from- the-heart human being, and that is why I love him and have been a dedicated fan for 40 years.

I'm assuming you've watched the doc by now (I just finished it about an hour ago). It is a MUST SEE! He holds nothing back, and is so candid and authentic. I'm not the huge fan you are, more a casual listener and enjoyer of all the usual hits. But I've always liked him and his vibe, and now a huge admirer of his. He seems a genuinely stand-up guy. His charitable work is off the charts. I'm rooting for him!
"As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead". Well, Jon, you made your own and the world is watching. I love how he says "it's what I do, not who I am". Years ago he said it exactly like that in his Oprah interview and he still says it. Shows consistency and commitment. Mad respect for this man! As far as his voice is concerned, he's no different from any other professional. Doctors retire if they can no longer hold a scalpel, sports men and women retire because their bodies can no longer keep up. Is anyone really surprised that after 40+ years of singing his heart out, that his instrument is no longer what it was. He literally gave his voice to those million faces, and yes Jon, you rocked them all!
❤
He left it all on the stage every single time, and it was amazing letting us in like that.
Last saw the band in 2019 at Wembley and he did Always, possibly for the last time and hit THE note. Fair play to him. Seems a humble guy and one of the good ones.
Jon has earnt his reign as a rock legend. Live your life man!
That’s hilarious. 😂
anthonylove821,
What's hilarious?
@@bkm2797 The legend part. What a joke. He's just a glam pop rock guy that makes radio music for middle aged women that wash dishes while listening to his crap.

Gee Adrian you sound like a bitter little man with No talent whatsoever, like a grinch who stalks those who worked their asses off and proved to themselves and the world they have incredible talent! STOP TYPING, YOU ARE A WASTE OF SPACE!
@@adriantrusca1245 mai Adriane, ce hater, ce cauti aici? Definitely a legend!
Praying that Jon gets his voice back!🙏What a rock legend!🎸💫
We'd all like to be in our 20's again, no amount of praying will do that.
He won’t lol

Quit being a hater! Just go away!!
Legend for sure Jon Bon Jovi only one of him love love love ❤
Bon Jovi is the soundtrack to so many of our lives growing up! Hard working band, great songs, they’ve toured the world over and over again and always gave 💯 to us fans! Jon and Richie were always so phenomenal on stage together, they had great chemistry on stage and wrote so many great songs together, I will always love ❤️ and respect these legends! Super excited to see this documentary!🤟🎶🥰They’ve always been a incredible live band 👏
I became a true Bon Jovi fan in 1986 at the age of 16. I drove a lot of back roads with friends and girlfriends, drinking beer, raising hell, learning about the birds and the bees to Bon Jovi music. I saw them several times live in late 80s and early 90s, and those guys always brought down the house. Forever grateful to Jon and Bon Jovi.
Met Bonjovi in PITTSBURGH!! Took my 8yr old nephew with me!! BACKSTAGE ALL DAY!! Ritchie was on stage, grabbed my nephew, went on stage, sat him on his lap & did a sound check on stage!! Wow!!! It was amazing !! He is 43 now !! Lots of stories that day !!❤❤❤❤ thanks Bonjovi!!!
PRECIOUS MEMORY
That Is The Type Of Man Richie Is In His Heart. In 2006 He Helped Do A Music Interview For My Nephew For School & Was Very Patient With Him As He Asked His Questions..& In 2006 He Was Told It Was My BDay & Was Kind Enough To Sing Happy BDay & I'll Be There For You For Me & I Have Never Forgotten Any Of It..There Is A Side Few Really Got To See But Heard About Them Doing...There Are Thousands Of Things Richie Has Done Without The Public Knowing & Never Wanted Thanks For It. It Is Who He Is & Always Will Be & Always Loved For What He Does..
Aging, having a family has definitely wised him up in a lot of ways when he talks about his family. Awesome how he talks about God too ❤ he’s definitely asked gracefully and is still amazing in my eyes 😂 I still love their music!!! 🎶 ❤🙏🏼
When Bon Jovi makes the "final" album, I really hope Richie comes back for that album.
maybe better not, bcs I'm not sure if he is even able to play like he used to do and not talking about composing or where is all the good musik he wantet to do solo the last 11 Years? But at the end we must be thankfull if all are still alive and the show is going on....
@@atelierXL99I’m sure Richie is capable of it he’ll just need some practice with the band Richie can still play and sing so that’s not the issue is lies more on hopefully he can get his act together and not be drinking so much and be that way long enough to maybe do a final tour with Jon and the band
No Richie...no party
Watch the „Shred With Shifty“-Episode with RS and you know that it would be better, if Richie does not come back. It was heartbreaking to see, in what condition he is in.
Yes, hope we get one last album with Richie in it. Please return to the having guitar solos in the songs.
Nichelle you are an explerary interviewer. You ask all the right questions,no scared of the hard one yet show so much grace.
Jon......nothing short of par excellance
That's a huge takeaway on this for me. Very well done.
_'..explerary..'_ wtf ha ha
Perhaps, going for 'exemplary ' Where, on earth, does the run-of-the-mill imbecile get this crap?
I'm an old lady who had limited experience with rock and roll and don't remember bon Jovi years ago but have found him in the past few years. I really like some of his music and some of it I'll leave to the younger music lovers. BUT one thing I have come to appreciate is the fact that this man is such a tremendous human being. His work with Habitat,, his food concerns, his exemplary family life make me appreciate having him on the planet at this particularly trying time in history. Pray that he recovers so that he is able to continue the work he loves.
Im 51 years old. In 9 th grade, I was in a class at school.... you know the one, I forget what class it was but we had a project. Screen painting T-SHIRT. Me and my friend made our own custom SLIPPERY WHEN WET tshirts! 😀. Thank you Bon Jovi for the best times back in the late 80's. Still to this day when I hear you on the radio it takes me back. Love to you and your family. You have never let us down!! Can't wait to see where your kids go! Great job Mom and Dad.
What a great guy- he is so authentic, eloquent and real!
He was quite the hottie! ❤
He's inauthentic. He is not telling the truth about Richie.
I don't know a band or an artist who has as many top hits as (Jon) Bon Jovi. Was listening youtube's made random playlist and it was hours and hours of songs like "Bed of Roses", "Blaze of Glory", "Runaway", "Keep the Faith", "Santa Fe", "It's my life", "Livin' on a Prayer", "Dry County", "Never say Goodbye", "Who says you...", "This ain't a Love Song", "Wanted Dead or Alive", "Make a Memory", "Midnight in Chelsea", "We Weren't Born to Follow"... Endless list of amazing songs that reached three generations. Bravo!
What an honest interview. The interviewer did a great job, direct but warm, putting so much feeling and care, and the way she approached all the subject matters... and the listening, so important. Respect (also for Jon's honesty and humbleness)
Agreed
I agree 100%. Ms. Turner does an awesome job here.
Agreed, pity there aren't more interviewers of this quality and more honest performers like Jon
Totally agree. She is a terrific interviewer
I will always LOVE Bon Jovi ❤
To be honest, I was never a big Bon Jovi fan. But I always thought he seemed like a decent human being. I appreciate him finally opening up about his vocal problems and as a fellow singer myself, I have to say...I'm rooting for him and his vocal recovery.
Am 75. Have really liked Bon Jovi the last 15 years. Miss though the blend of his voice with Richie Sambora. 💃.
Its a problem when theres a band & 1 guy does everything. Even a bigger problem when theres a band & 2 guys are very talented & are doing everything.
It's destined to fall apart. Either the relationship or the band.
JOVIAN, just cried during this interview Jon… your strength, passion & honesty touched my heart; Glad you & Richie are in a good place now!! Enjoy Life, Heal, Pray & Take Care!! LOVE YOU + BON JOVI FOREVER🩷🙏🏼🩷
Nischelle is a lovely interviewer - truly engaged and engaging. Great work, Nischelle!
What a career this man has had,personally from what I see in the interview is the man looks exhausted,speaks the truth about everything and we all know what he’s done for the homeless and people who really don’t have much so I’d be exhausted as well or wouldn’t have been able to pull off what he’s done throughout his awesome career
One of the last great bands to come out of the best era of rock and roll.♥
Yep....his dear friends in Leppard and other bands like Loverboy, Journey, Aerosmith, Night Ranger and a few others.
Hardly, 60's and 70's waaaay better!
@@jimcoleman598 Agreed! That was my point!
@@coleensibert882 👍👍
It's not the same Bon Jovi that I like in 80s and 90s and I don't listen to any of their music for the last 15-20 years but the man is definitely a living LEGEND and nothing will ever change that ..
ARE YOU THE SAME AS YOU WERE IN 80S OR 90S
@@user-zz4gh8hd5c yes I am.. I still do listen to the same kind of music more or less..
One of the best interviews I’ve ever seen with Jon. Great questions with lots of respect.
Jon is all class.
My daughter and I so enjoyed the concert in Seattle during the Slippery When Wet tour - and love the fact that he, his wife and Co. continue to have such important impacts on life and society.
I saw the very last show of that tour in Honolulu
I was at that show and I enjoyed seeing Cinderella and Tom Keifer singing Nobody’s Fool ! It’s sad how much the Climate Pledge has changed, the seating was better before.
Honestly, I've never been a big fan of the music, but the guy is up there gray hair and all doing his thing. Nice to see a musician not dying his hair, getting plastic surgery, trying to hang with 20 year old women, etc. He gets thumbs up for that.
Steven Tyler . . . cough cough
I don't think he's 100% real. Looks at those teeth for a start!
@@dellajohnston3601 Not real...
@@dellajohnston3601I'm sure if you had the money, you'd do something on yourself too. Shame that you're too shallow to judge him by how he looks, instead of how much good he does. I'm sure you're not a philanthropist like he is!!
He took a band and ran with it for forty years. He shows he is proud for showing up and doing the work. He does not take himself seriously.
Smile Brother. You are blessed no matter what the future holds...Inspire no matter what
Sambora must return! The world needs its heroes more than ever…
I have been a FAN, for ALL 40 years!!
Man - he is such an impressive, thoughtful and insightful person. Big respect.
I’ve seen him 3 times and accepted he was in his 50’s and couldn’t hit those notes that he recorded almost 30+ years ago. He was still a BOSS on stage and gave the fans 110% and his attention. He read and signed their posters, interacted, knew he inspired and was there with them during good/bad times. He’s definitely a fans rock star. If you gotta hang it up Jon, your music lives on. Thanks for the songs and the memories.
Exactly , I've seen many of my Idols when they were older in the flesh and on YT , and it's only human not to be able to sing at an older age like you could in your twenties...it's just not possible. At least the true Rock greats still have the balls to perform live , many of todays stars wouldn't dream of it. Also I think when you go and see somebody who has given you so much pleasure and good memories through the years , as a fan I'm not just there to enjoy the gig , I'm there to show my support and say thanks for being the sound track to my life!
Nope, saw him on his last tour. He was awful. The fact that he cannot sing anymore (and knows this) but still charges what he does to see him - makes him a bad person.
@@AGoat1971 I got lucky then. This was 10+ years now when Phil X took over.
@@AGoat1971 You're not forced to pay money to go and see anyone. Also if that's how you judge a persons morality you may need a little reality check.
this guy right here has been through hell n everything, but still continues too do what he loves, prayers always for jon n the boys
I'm a Jersey boy, been with these guys from the very beginning , first concert I saw them at was Six Flags Great Adventure arena in Jackson NJ, I was early teens, they were FABULOUS and I've been here ever since. It breaks my heart to see him like this but I truly had no idea the amount of stress and doubt he puts on himself , I will Pray for you brother , you got this and you will get through ! Stay strong Jon , stay strong , you are loved and honestly you will heal ! God Bless ! Your Jersey Brother - Jeff
Well said!!
he was eating in little italy one night , i stopped and we talked for 10 min ...he was super super cool and down to earth !!!!!

@luke5100 My bad , thought you meant zakk wylde aka Jeff weidlandt
God damn , very heartfelt to see all famous rockers of all time getting old and grey. Definitely very much like to rewinding the time ….
I have always been a huge Bon Jovi fan (of course). In your 20's you love his look, his voice, his songs etc. As I get older, hearing his humbleness, and that he's leaving it up to God.....as well as knowing of his philanthropy, and being a true family man that is married to first and only wife......I have absolutely more solid reasons to still be a huge Bon Jovi fan. From day one til the day I die. Bon Jovi Forever.
I mean, as much as we love the band, there's no shame in saying that you can't sing the same way at 60 that you did at 20.
Exactly.
I really wish more rock singers would admit this.
There's no shame in it. We don't expect Joe Namath to quarterback anymore.
Why should we expect rock singers in their 60's and 70's to be able to sing what they sang in their 20's?
I have so much respect for him for being honest about his situation and what he is going through and continuing to be honest about the future. Class act!
My wife found Bon Jovi back in the 80s.... after listening to one of their songs I said.... They will be one hit wonders... 4 times seeing them in concerts and 40 odd years later she often says when one of their songs comes on..... theres those one hit wonders....... I am 24hrs older the JB born March 1st 1962 and my wife also says.... its amazing what the difference is in a day.... we are old and retired now but we both sing along like 12 year olds when their music comes on... like our relationship,,,, its a true test of time... congrats and thank you JB....

COVID ruined the best of everything in this country. So sad to continue seeing the suffering 4 years later. Prayers up!
Thank Fauci
It has nothing to do with Covid! Jon started having problems with his voice from 2000 on
@@SabrinaMaye-yo4tv exactly! Fauci’s refusal to use the scientific background he has is pure blasphemy! He knows how and why people need to avoid the destruction of repeated Covid infections and yet he keeps his mouth shut. A total failure of a government official and a scientist. Shame on him.

The man is just like his music, no BS, no cheating just good solid songs played incredibly well. Good luck to him and all his future endeavors.
It’s tough getting old. I’ll never forget seeing BonJovi in the early 90s. Jon was the most beautiful. Like Elvis Presley, Sebastian Bach beautiful. A very special kind of beautiful. I discovered them in the 80s. Such a wonderful discovery and time.
Sebastian Bach was a great composer but not really a sex symbol in his time.
Wow I can't help but think scores of women of that era highly disagree. Including this one. Sebastian was sexxxyyyy. 😊

Bon Jovi was my first concert I ever experienced. New Jersey tour. Skid Row opening. San Antonio, Texas - Hemisphere arena. Scalpers everywhere. Still one of the best concerts I've ever seen and I've seen everybody. Love Jon Bon Jovi. Love Richie Sambora. Wish they could've patched things up because those two are even more "legendary" together than apart. Praying Jon has a full recovery. Grateful for the music and memories... FOREVER. - Manny
This man/band got me through depression in my 90's. Ty x
Ok. I have been listening to this band forever. The music help me through a horrible time in my life. I watched documentary and when richie said that he felt like he was being replaced. He did not say anything to anyone. He just left like a child. He was a child about this. That made heart hurt for Jon and the rest of the guys in the band. Also I knew before anyone else that Jon was having health issues. And that broke my heart. I hope he gets feeling better very soon.
Stay strong Jon. Our hearts and prayers are with you
Excellent interview. Great questions. Great reporter
I’ve gotta say I’ve heard hundreds and hundreds of interviews with Jon. This woman who interviewed him was good and I think even he was impressed.

Bon Jovi never be the same without Richie. Jon has made 4 albums and none of them even comes close to the stuff with Richie. Even with Phil X being a great guitarist.
Phil X can't write songs to save his life.
spot on mate
Exactly!!!
@@MrCleitus Phil X is a hired gun. Richie is the real deal.
Jon made two great solo albums: Blaze of Glory (1990) & Destination Anywhere (1997). Richie also has a couple of his own: Stranger in This Town (1991) & Undiscovered Soul (1998). But his 3rd album from 2012 may as well not exist. Whether it's their solo efforts or the entire band's, their 21st century material has never been as good as those from 1983 to 2000. Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, & Desmond Child are all Songwriters Hall of Fame inductees, but all artists eventually decline.
Loving this interview, YES AND THANK YOU!
Can't wait to watch the series. Thanks
You’re awesome Jon! Life has been good to you and you’ve been good to humanity!! Thank you for all the excellent music and also for your philanthropic endeavors. My celebrity crush since the 80’s!!!!!!
I loved Bon Jovi but I haven't felt the same about him since he made the comment about the women in his audience being old! Well we are the same age as you John and we were your biggest fans back in the day. The love and appreciation of music doesn't have an age range.
"The only thing I like more than my wife is my money, and I'm not about to lose that to her and her lawyers, that's for damn sure." Jon
@@gingerty9628 Fair logic. He's not saying he's staying with her just for the money, he's presumably saying why he hasn't had destructive affairs which destroyed his relationship.
@privone2001 Well, he's right. It isn't the nicest view to see a bunch of wrinkley old ladies. But that's his own fault, because he hasn't kept his music fresh and edgy - it has become OAP rock.
I just turned 60! Who's old? Not me!!!
Betcha that's not gray naturally
Take a break, Jon. We will always love you, no matter what. I saw you live in South Africa in 2013 and the memories of that concert helped carry me through chemo again recently. Your health and family are more important. WE LOVE YOU!!!! ♥️
Thank you for sharing this and letting fans in, to see "real"moment's of an Incredible journey. ✌️
Jon is legendary as well as his legacy❤
Jon has always given back, what a great guy! Saw them on the Slippery When Wet Tour with Ratt.
I'm jealous. I was almost lucky enough to see them on that tour. My best friend and I thought we had won the lottery when we scored tickets to their concert -- convinced it was going to be one of the best times in our entire lives. Unfortunately, our car broke down on the way to St. Louis (from Springfield, IL) and we missed it. Sadder still, we never got another opportunity to see them -- life just kinda got in the way -- but we've been "rocking out" to them all these years.
Mr. Jon Bon Jovi, you are awesome. You have been there in my life in ways that only music can strum the soul. And make you whole.
You are going to be ok. Everything is always working out for us. Maybe the next page bring you more joy, more blessings, and more surprises. From my heart to yours! Namaste!

Living on a prayer did this to his voice ..!!
This was a *superb* interview. I've been watching ET since it had all it's letters - yeah I'm old - and much as I've ❤ it for what it was at every turn, this was beyond: real journalism, real reporting has always been more than possible in a profile piece, even with someone interviewed as many times as this man has. My first with this journo, but blessings for bringing thru the maturity my 2 old friends - ET &JBJ - have always had, even if ET is decades late to a party JBJsbeen at for years ❤❤❤
Much respect, you and your band is the real deal. Keeping you and your family and the band and their families in my thoughts and prayers.
Just for the Young Guns 2 soundtrack makes me give him mad respect
A great interview💯
All the best Jon. I attended a concert in South Africa in the 90's, still remember the magic when I listen to those songs.
Met him 1000 yrs ago at the China club..total class act ...you can meet your idols..he's as real as they come..😊amazing guy great talent..❤
