In the footage below, JON BON JOVI sings his band BON JOVI's classic, 'Livin' On A Prayer', with Prince William and country/pop star TAYLOR SWIFT at the Winter Whites Gala charity ball at Kensington Palace.
The Royal Family refers to Prince William's performance, stating: "He's got the (slightly nervous) voice of an angel at the Winter Whites Gala charity ball at Kensington Palace but we reckon a few butterflies are understandable!"
According to CBSSports.com, Jon Bon Jovi is consumed with purchasing an NFL team, according to numerous sources with knowledge of the situation, and is among the parties positioning to purchase the Buffalo Bills when the team comes up for sale.
The Bills will go to the market when owner Ralph Wilson passes, and, while many league sources believe the Rogers Communications group in Toronto, who already work closely with the Wilson family to stage games annually in Toronto, is the prime suitor for the franchise, sources said Bon Jovi has spent considerable time in the area getting to know politicians and power brokers and even added a date there late in a recent tour to allow for more time to allocate to the matter.
Bon Jovi has been very proactive in meeting NFL owners and general managers, and is seeking their input on all sort of issues related to football. In the past he has nearly become a minority owner of a team, most notably the Falcons. However, sources said Bon Jovi is aiming to be the principal owner - it remains to be seen if he has the type of immense capital necessary to meet that threshold of ownership - and has aligned himself with several powerbrokers in his effort to turn his dream into reality.
According to several sources in the music industry, Bon Jovi's dismissal of longtime guitarist Richie Sambora is likely even related to his pursuit of a franchise, as Sambora was the highest-paid member of his band and the next most prominent member, and by using session musicians or unknowns, he is then able to keep his costs down.
