March 14, 2024, 9 months ago
Bon Jovi frontman, Jon Bon Jovi, is featured in a new interview with Audacy Check In host, Remy Maxwell.
During the chat, Jon discusses watching other people perform his songs: “It was daunting... I got Paul McCartney to your left and Bruce Springsteen to your right. You go, ‘This is a pretty good day.’”
Bon Jovi also talks about the new Hulu docuseries Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story, the impact he’s had on his fans, the band's new single and album, opening for the Scorpions in 1984, and a night out at a restaurant in London with Sebastian Bach and Axl Rose.
In the excerpt below, he discusses the possibility of working with Richie Sambora again in the future:
“Hey, the door would always be open. It's not that, I mean, but 11 years ago, you know, for reasons that were certainly nothing to do with the band, he walked out. There was no [animosity], there was nothing but love. But we had a show that night and subsequently had one the next night, and for 11 years, I've been making records and doing shows. So everyone knows where the bus stops, you know… but there's nothing but love. So Richie's gone on, on his own and, you know, he raised his daughter and, you know, so if he wanted to show up and play sometime, he knows the songs. No [animosity], I could promise you that…. He came to the house, he watched the first three parts of this film with me. We roll on. I had a record to make, and, you know, I got work to do.”

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.

The series relives the triumphs and setbacks, greatest hits, biggest disappointments, and most public moments of friction.
