Jon Bon Jovi's Secret To Staying Humble

It’s important to live without regrets, to try everything, but also to know when to quit. Jon Bon Jovi feels leaving a legacy isn’t about competing with others, but about being able to say you’ve been the best version of yourself.
In this chat with Fearne, Jon talks about why he reckons being hard working trumps talent, and why he continues to demand excellence from himself, even 40 years into his career. Jon also opens up about the reality of working with a bandmate with addictions, and how he’s been able to steer clear of rock’n’roll excesses (for the most part) himself.
Are you good at celebrating your successes? Between them, Fearne and Jon wonder if the Americans are better at boldly owning achievements than Brits...
Bon Jovi’s new album, Forever, is out now.

This is probably the most humble and honest interview I have ever watched. I have been a big fan of Jon bon Jovi and the band from the first time I heard their music in the early 80s. I'm now almost 50yrs and my opinion has never changed. I really hope that he gets back to touring again here in the UK 🇬🇧.

The highlight of my life was meeting JBJ when he owned the Philadelphia Soul. He allowed me five minutes to speak with him one on one in his VIP suite at the Pepsi Center. His character attracted me in the 80s. He has always been an ethical man, and his ethics is was propelled him in how he loves Dorothea, his kids, his fans, and comes thru in his lyrics, his work ethics, and interviews going 40 years back to this very day. He defines role model, and from the moment I saw him at McNichol’s stadium in ‘86 to hearing this interview, he’s been honest, humble, and yet a super star. Jon, you’re one of a kind with a heart of gold. Thank you for being authentic in all that you do and who you are.

Fat Elvis still sounded amazing…but what a great interview. It’s nice to hear Jon Bon Jovi just speaking like a regular person. Struggles and triumphs. I loved him so much as a kid. My parents wouldn’t let me go to the concert, so my friend and I watched her older sisters get ready and leave for the concert. We played Slippery When Wet on repeat and felt sad all night. I never did get to see them in concert, maybe one day!

As a fan, I have heard countless interviews, Jon has given….and Richie, as well. They have proven one thing, to me…..Jon is hardly “humble”, and if given the opportunity to talk about Richie’s struggles…..he does. Classless! By now, we all know the demons, Richie battles. After awhile, instead of keeping it relevant, stop talking about it! I was once a HUGE Jon fan…..and while there is STILL a lot of love (40 years), I’m Team Richie❤️

@marilynhuntley9679 Ай бұрын

I disagree with you about Jon and Ritchie. Ritchie owed all of the band a reason for just leaving. I think he and Jon loved each other very much but they always competed with each other. You can see how much Jon is hurt over not working with Ritchie and I am sure Ritchie feels the same way. Both are very humble and thankful . Ritchie and Jon are excellent fathers. I pray we all get to see them on stage together again doing. Their thing.

It's a shame, as we are living out of States, we are not allowed to share how he is a great man, other than a great Rock Star. Elena 🥺🇺🇲🇮🇹🗽👎👎 Sorry Jon, MUCH LOVE ALWAYS 🌼🫂
