John Francis Bongovi Jr.

Jon Bon Jovi is a cult American musician, the permanent leader of the musical group of the same name and the idol of more than one generation of rock music fans. But even from admirers of his work, not everyone knows that the creative biography of John Bon Jovi is not limited to music alone. 

The future musician was born on March 2, 1962 in the United States, in the town of Perth Embroe, in New Jersey. It was there that the Bon Jovi family lived. John Francis, the boy's father, worked as a hairdresser. Carol, John's mother, was a florist. From an early age, the boy showed an interest in music: John mastered the guitar frets and often performed with local musical groups. 

The songs of Jon Bon Jovi were to the liking of the boy's cousin, and John received permission to use the equipment in his relative's own recording studio. The first song the audience got to know was the song "Runaway", which was even played on local radio stations. And even then it became clear that the young talent would not stop there.

In 1983, the aspiring musician took the first steps to real fame: John founded his own musical group and gave him his name. At the time, Bon Jovi had six members, including John. Success accompanied this undertaking, and a year later the team managed to conclude a contract with the "Mercury" company. It seemed like a miracle - many beginning groups and performers of that time dreamed of such a lucrative contract. In 1984, the debut album "Bon Jovi" was released, named after the group.

The first disc was so successful that a year later the group recorded the next album - "7800 ° Fahrenheit", which beat sales records and did not leave the first lines of the music top lists for weeks. Further albums by Jon Bon Jovi and his teammates came out with enviable regularity: in 1986, Slippery When Wet appeared, and already in 1988 - New Jersey.

By this time it became clear that the musical career was a success: the group became truly "star". The band toured, every concert of Jon Bon Jovi and the team became a bright and unforgettable event, the music of "Bon Jovi" was heard from every radio, and the musician's photos adorned the walls of fans all over the world. 

According to rumors, the deafening popularity and heavy touring schedule almost destroyed the team. Constant stress and serious workload have caused conflicts and chronic fatigue of musicians. However, the group managed to cope with the difficulties, and in 1992 another album "Keep the Faith" was released, and three years later - "These Days".

In parallel with his work in a team, John also worked on solo projects. The first of these, "Blaze of Glory", named after the opening track of this disc, brought John honorable musical awards. And in 1997, the musician presented the fans with the album "Destination Anywhere", which became a hit both in his native America and far beyond its borders.

The next two years, the musicians devoted to rest and restoration of creative forces. The fans patiently waited for the return of their idols, and this expectation paid off handsomely: the song "It's my Life", released in 2000, blew up all sorts of charts and chart lists. This song topped the band's new album, "Crush".

Subsequent work of the group and John's solo singles became equally popular. In addition to the song “It's my Life”, it is worth noting the hit “Always”, as well as the song “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen, heartfeltly performed by John. The clips of John Bon Jovi, shot for these musical works, are still popular today.

In the case of Jon Bon Jovi, the famous saying about talented people, talented in any field, is completely true. In addition to music, the artist was also interested in cinematography. In 1988, John was offered a small role in the film "The Return of Bruno", and in 1990 the musician starred in episodes of the film "Young Arrows - 2". These episodes were so small that John's name did not even make the credits, but they marked the beginning of the acting career of a rock star. Already in 1995, John, along with Gwyneth Paltrow, Whoopi Goldberg and other stars, appeared in the frames of the picture "Moonlight and Valentino". 

A year later, fans saw John in the drama "Leader", as well as in a short film shot by the musician especially for the solo album "Destination Anywhere". Films with Jon Bon Jovi continued to appear, with the films Lovers (in 1997) and Homegrown (a year later, in 1998). In 2000, the world saw a serious war drama called "U-571". This picture of Jonathan Motov about the events of World War II did not leave indifferent either the fans of the actor or the fans of cinema. John played the role of Lieutenant Pete here.

In the same year, the touching story "Pay another" was released, which tells about a little boy who decided to make the world a little better. It turned out that this seemingly impossible task does not require much effort, you just need to take the first step. In addition to these film works in the piggy bank of John, it is worth noting roles in the films Fahrenheit 9/11, Lone Wolf, America: A Tribute to Heroes, Sex and the City and Puck! Washer! "

Unlike many of his colleagues in the rock workshop, Jon Bon Jovi has shown himself to be an excellent family man. And although the tall, handsome blond (John Bon Jovi's height is 175 cm) had no end of admiring fans, John chose for himself the fate of a one-woman man. And he was right. In 1989, the musician married his school friend Dorothea Harley. It is worth noting that the wife of John Bon Jovi is also an interesting personality: the girl is not hearsay familiar with martial arts and even earned a black belt in karate.

The lovers decided to get married spontaneously: the couple went for a walk in Las Vegas, where they legalized their relationship. This union became happy, but sometimes John and Dorothea had disagreements. At one of these moments, the song “Janie” was born, which was so popular with the musician's fans.

Additional proof that the marriage turned out to be truly happy were the children of whom John and Dorothea have four. In 1993, the musician's first daughter, Stephanie Rose, was born. Two years later, Dorothea gave her husband their first son, named Jesse James Louis. Boys Jacob Harley and Romeo John were born in 2002 and 2004, respectively.

In 2013, John had a hard time: Richie Sambora, the band's musician, left the band in anticipation of a large-scale world tour. 

But this obstacle was surmountable. Now Jon Bon Jovi continues to perform, write music and star in films. In 2016, the band's next album, This House Is Not for Sale, appeared.

In addition to creativity, John is actively involved in charitable projects. The Bon Jovi Soul Foundation helps poor people. The musician builds houses for the needy at his own expense. Bon Jovi also opened a restaurant in which visitors can pay not with money, but with some kind of work.

Fans of the musician are eagerly awaiting the next album of the legendary band, but in the meantime, on the official website and on Instagram, Jon Bon Jovi has published the schedule of a large tour planned by the musicians for 2017.
