Family Milestones

2016 is a celebratory year for Bon Jovi, who welcomed a granddaughter via adoption from his son Jake and his wife Millie Bobby Brown. He mentioned feeling a deep sense of responsibility for his grandkids and how much brighter the holidays will be with their growing family.

Collaboration with Bruce Springsteen

Bon Jovi has long acknowledged the impact of Bruce Springsteen on his career. Their friendship spans decades, and they are collaborating on a track for the first time. Bon Jovi emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating that it reflects their friendship and offers fans something they’ve longed to hear.

Reflections on a Biopic

When asked about the possibility of a biopic documenting his life, Bon Jovi remarked that his story is still unfolding. He shared a personal experience of watching Springsteen’s documentary, which transported him back to their early days in New Jersey.

Artistic Evolution
