Bon Jovi
Bon
Jovi is an American rock band from Sayreville, New Jersey. Formed in 1983, Bon
Jovi consists of lead singer and namesake Jon Bon Jovi (John Francis Bongiovi,
Jr.), guitarist Richie Sambora, keyboardist David Bryan, drummer Tico Torres,
as well as current bassist Hugh McDonald. The band's lineup has remained mostly
static during their history, the only exception being the departure of Alec
John Such in 1994, who was unofficially replaced by Hugh McDonald. The band
became known for writing several rock anthems and achieved widespread
recognition with their third album, Slippery When Wet, released in 1986. After
touring and recording non-stop during the late 1980s, the band went on hiatus
after the New Jersey Tour in 1990, during which time Jon Bon Jovi and Richie
Sambora both released successful solo albums. In 1992, the band returned with
the album Keep the Faith. Their 2000 single "It's My Life", which
followed a second hiatus, successfully introduced the band to a younger
audience. Bon Jovi has been known to use different styles in their music, which
has included country for their 2007 album Lost Highway. Their latest album, The
Circle, was released on November 10, 2009 in the United States.
Throughout
their career, the band have released eleven studio albums, three compilation
albums and one live album, and have sold 130 million records worldwide. They
have performed more than 2,600 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 34
million fans, and were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006. The
band was also honored with the Award of Merit at the American Music Awards in
2004. Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora were inducted into Songwriters Hall of
Fame in 2009. The band was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in
2010, but did not make it.
