Book description
This fascinating biography provides a detailed portrait of the
high-energy, charismatic international superstar and frontman of the
ever-popular band, Bon Jovi. The book charts Jon's relationship with the
other band members who have their fair share of rock and roll stories -
sex, booze, burnouts, health and women problems. Although rock music is
Jon Bon Jovi's first love, he has more recently developed an interest in
acting - starring in various hit TV shows such as Ally McBeal and Sex
and the City and attracting critical acclaim for his role in World War
II hit film, U-571. He has also scored film music, with his score for
Young Guns earning him an Oscar nomination. Bestselling writer Laura
Jackson explores the personality, character, drive and the determination
that have taken him from playing New Jersey clubs through all the
groupie excess and glamorous indulgence to where the band is today. Two
new chapters in this updated edition detail his recent work for charity,
his involvement in politics and football and also give an update on the
band's new albums and tours. Laura Jackson is a highly regarded
biographer. She has published biographies of many rock and film stars
including: Steven Tyler, Queen, Kiefer Sutherland, Brian May and Brian
Jones. Laura lives in Scotland.
