Jon Bon Jovi appeared on Wednesday night's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! ahead of the premiere of Bon Jovi's documentary, Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story.
In the video below, Jon talks about being a hoarder, buying his first guitar back from a kid he sold it to years ago, getting a DJ in New York to play Bon Jovi’s first hit “Runaway,” his first-ever recording on the Star Wars Christmas album, not wanting to record “Livin’ On A Prayer,” Bruce Springsteen being his idol, taking long drives together, hanging out with Michael Jackson and Bubbles in Tokyo, the cover art for Slippery When Wet, and the new documentary.
Hulu's upcoming docuseries, Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story, is set to premiere April 26 on Hulu in the United States and later in the year on Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ in the rest of the world.
Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story is a four-part, all access docuseries chronicling the epic past and uncertain future of one of the most recognizable bands in the world and its frontman Jon Bon Jovi. A 40-year odyssey of rock and roll idolatry on the precipice as a vocal injury threatens to bring everything to a screeching halt.
Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story joins the band in February 2022 and follows their real time journey with its fits and starts as they attempt to chart out their future. As thrilling as the story of a once-in-a-lifetime talent is, it is even more rare that a legend like Jon Bon Jovi lets the world into his most vulnerable moments, while he's still living them.
40 years of personal videos, unreleased early demos, original lyrics, and never before seen photos that chronicle the journey from Jersey Shore Clubs to the biggest stages on the planet. The series relives the triumphs and setbacks, greatest hits, biggest disappointments, and most public moments of friction.
Bon Jovi continues their 40th anniversary celebration with the recent release of new single and video “Legendary”, out now via Island Records. The monumental new track sets the stage for Bon Jovi’s upcoming 16th studio album, Forever, arriving on June 7. Watch the video below.
The new album is now available for pre-order here where fans can find exclusive colored vinyl options, CDs, cassettes, and limited edition signed copies. An extremely limited run of Ocean Waves colored vinyl will include a one-of-a-kind instant photo of Jon.
