Bon Jovi: New Album Forever, Filming a Documentary, & Recovering from Vocal Surgery | Apple Music

Jon Bon Jovi, founding member of Bon Jovi, discusses the band's latest album, Forever, in the studio with Zane Lowe.
He provides a glimpse into the subjects of his 4-part docuseries, which captures the band's journey through uncertain periods. Bon Jovi discusses the emotional significance of songs like "Kiss The Bride," a tribute to his daughter on her wedding day.

I am only 13 and missed one of the greatest decades ever. Bon Jovi is my favorite band and hope they keep going strong. Alec John Such 1951-2022

[@ianclegg9572]

The Music is still out there if you look

[@jamesb7168]

Such an incredible musician and entertainer. His Drive to succeed is unparalleled. A true rock n roll legend

[@stormiewoods1490]

I love Jon Bon Jovi. I was born in July of 1984 so Bon Jovi has literally been the soundtrack of my life. To see the good man he is its beautiful to see. ❤

[@TheFlamehead97]

Bon Jovi is one of my all time favorite bands. I grew up to their music and it still hits home in 2024. I’m excited for the new album tomorrow.

[@Nicolasmondragon707]

One of the greatest frontman of all time! A true legend and the band is here to stay! 💯🤘🏽

[@karipmana]

I'm always waiting for Zane's interviews whenever a great artist is promoting a new release. You get a great human connection, real answers. Very respectful and invested in the conversation. So good to see Jon doing well! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@hoisin75]

Top man our Jon Bon. I think THE greatest line ever sang on record is how he roared "It's this WORLD that can DRIVE a good man bad" on Santa Fe from the Young Guns 2 album. The power almost tares the mic appart. I've always wanted to tell him that, so Jon if you read this...thanks. So glad he's still doing it. True legend.

[@Dreinthekitchen]

Yessss!

[@DanielMerzaOfficial]

Couldn’t agree more

[@AdoBurke]

100% - still one of my fav songs ever, great comment!

[@marilynhuntley9679]

Absolutely

[@user-gi1nh2tq3g]

Love seeing a true living legend giving such an insightful interview. I've been a faithful and loyal fan of Bon Jovi for over thirty years and my loyalty remains to this day. Bon Jovi Forever!!!

[@karensullivan-barker4957]

This is the best interview so far, along the one with Dermot O Leary. It feels very relaxed and natural, and Jon looks like he's enjoying the conversation, compared to one that I watched recently, where he looked irritated deep down. I love the charitable side of Jon and his wife. The world needs more people like them💜

[@elizabethwitt2621]

Amazing comment! Well said. 👏👏💯💯

[@KarenSullivan-yq5uk]

​@@elizabethwitt2621 Thankyou

[@sargentrowell81]

Best interview this cycle! Zane is top notch and knows not the ask all of the same questions everyone else has, and knows how to twist some of them into something unique! Very excited to hear the new album tomorrow!

[@elizabethwitt2621]

This dude is an amazing interviewer and true music lover. He's so invested in the deep dive of the band's history and the emotional thought process of its longevity. This truly is a gem for music students and one for the history books. Just blown away by the natural feeling, effortless conversation between them in this piece. Jon has been through it lately and he so openly shares the good and the bad of that journey with such honesty and humility....like a real person, not like a rock star. One of the reasons i love him so much. So happy for Jon that the dark days are behind him now. He is an inspiration to all going through hard times. Well done, gentleman! 👏👏🫶🫶🤗🤗💐💐💯💯

[@evagarcia1606]

Who doesn't love he ? We love Bon Jovi ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kellyejones9495]

[@OfficialAshArcher]

The new album is absolutely fantastic- excellent new songs and Jon is sounding great after his surgery. Great bloke

[@hawtmess66]

Love Bon Jovi. It's been awesome watching the promo interviews he's been doing. He's never put out a documentary and it's awesome to be able to hear about the private and personal lives behind the music. The soundtrack of my life ❤ Great interview

[@BrageTS]

Great interview! Feels like a conversation between old friends! 😎

[@wanzinhaaa]

I grew up listening to Bon Jovi through the 90’s and I’m a fan since 94 and I’m from Brazil. The first time I got to see them live was in 2010 and been in so many concerts since. Still my favorite band in the world. ❤️

[@TakahikoSugimura]

greetings from 🇸🇬, bought my first bon jovi in 2016 but have since watched tons of Bon Jovi live concert videos, so exciting to hear the new album :)

[@dcthief]

Obi Wan Bon Jovi - gold ❤

[@RitaMahama-uy3ll]

Am so happy for him, he has overcome such obstacles

[@theyearsshallrun6641]

Really lovely interview. Great to see Jon so comfortable in his own skin.

[@VICTOROSTEO]

My favourite song on the album is "My first guitar". I'm so glad you decided to include it in the last minute. I wonder how many more songs I've missed out on.

[@KayBeall-ky8kd]

Extraordinary 🎉JBJ ..JOY JON❤

[@Nathalie-he9qt]

Good new album, thand you very much........I'm french and I know Bon Jovi since 1984🤗

[@margeauxhamilton4925]

Jon exudes class, character, and integrity…especially when interviewers attempt to upscale their own persona seemingly to match Jon’s

[@aishacampbellsloan5337]

Nunca mais nascerá de novo uma garganta como essa tão poderosa,importante, e única por todos os tempos ainda qdo houver vida na terra.😮😮😮😊😊😊

[@kathybuie3573]

🎉I want forever❤

[@CatherineM793]

Bon jove for ever ❤❤❤❤❤

[@makeyourself1988]

I’m not a Kiwi, but I spent 2 months travelling the whole of New Zealand a couple years ago and I loved that country!! Why would he not want to move back. I would love to live in NZ

[@markinegbenoseokpiabhele2117]

I like this long talk show video

[@elizabethwitt2621]

Obi Wan Bon Jovi! 🤣🤣👏👏🤗🤗

[@alexandermatthewsmusic]

Great love songs from John Bon Jovi. I have written many but much like the outro song "I love you" bit, none good enough to send 😔

[@JohnGaltHasArrived]

Aging gracefully.

[@laurastewart8040]

❤❤❤❤

[@asbjrnl.srensen3781]

Listening to Forever album now....WOW! Great work! Best album I many many years 😊😊😊

[@Ricky-23]

🤟😎👍

[@14LP2]

Jon might like the new Dua Lipa album “Radical Optimism.”

[@KrewWilliams-ob8rk]

I will miss Richie Sambora

[@Laurie804]

As I had countless times said, Vancouver,B.C. needs a soul kitchen

[@ExileonBrockSt]

Bon Jovi eats quiche!!

[@Brenda-uw9nk]

Most indubidly

[@mikewillder2337]

LOVE the new album. Sure, I like 4/5 of 2020, but this album I like A LOT probably 10/12, maybe 11. It's a really solid album. I would love a few more guitar solos etc., but on the whole it's brilliant.

[@perspicaciouscritic]

Dear Apple producers: Will someone please remove that bomb effect from Zane's console? Please.

[@Autobahn4537]

Why is Jon always wearing a jacket?

[@Suhi254]

Jon looks good in jackets.

[@ejdrapes5098]

His voice still sounds odd, like he gets out of breath as he speaks.

[@Julieglam3]

Well, considering the very delicate surgery he had, he may need some time....I think he sounds great, all things considered. The new album is amazing...

[@Gigi1111Layna]

He is out of breath yes..i guess he should stop smoking too. But i believe its the 💉🩸

[@zitibo]

⁠@@Gigi1111LaynaJon doesn't smoke.

[@MaximilianGorisch]

Je has Asthma Talking Voice is much better Do Not compare to the old times

[@Suhi254]

​@@zitibo He has. Not certain he's stopped. He flippantly mentioned quitting about 15yrs back, almost jokingly. I admire his strength through these unrelated vocal trials.

[@jasonl1942]

All.of his music is so monotone slow and bland. It litterally sounds the same track by track. But once upon a time when sambora was still there, they were the greatest, most creative collaborative band that were second to none. Youd have to be blind and deaf not to see how far this band has fallen from the tree. I sorely miss the old days, if jon chose to take more time off back in the old days instead of shooting his ravaged vocal cords with cortisone everynight just so that he could sing everynight and tour for almost threee years straight, i doubt hed be having voice issues now...

[@leayhgbbrvxzwaxhyunrxeaXgy]

Sadly agree 100 %. He should have stop way early. Also the last albums are terrible. Last great is there days, almost 30 years ago.

[@user-xy1er9wp1j]

Truly.... the most toadying interviewer of modern times ? Embodying the worst of the I, me and mine culture.

[@OfficialAshArcher]

The new album is absolutely fantastic- excellent new songs and Jon is sounding great after his surgery. Great bloke
