We all felt part of something special, trusted each other, and they trusted me. I never let them down. It was always a give-and-take by everybody.”

From New Jersey Bars to Global Icons
Bon Jovi was founded in 1983 in New Jersey and released their self-titled debut album in 1984. After two modestly successful albums, they skyrocketed to global fame with 1986’s Slippery When Wet, which topped the Billboard 200 and produced iconic hits like “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “Wanted Dead or Alive.”

Multiple sold-out world tours.
An induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.
Reflecting on the band’s origins, Jon Bon Jovi writes, “I was single-minded. There was no plan B, even before there was an audience. It was just the feeling that you got singing a song, and then playing in a band. There was something in that electricity, in the sheer sound of loud. There was something about it that captured my imagination.”
