JON BON JOVI On The Evolution Of His Songwriting - "In Order To Grow With Your Public, I Think You Have To Tell Your Truth"; Audio

Hulu's upcoming 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.

Hollywood Outbreak reports: Over the years, Bon Jovi has branched out beyond its beginnings as a pop-rock band, even landing three singles on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart over the years, along with six Top 10 hits on the magazine’s Adult Contemporary charts. Tellingly, all but one of those Top 10 AC hits has come in the 21st century, indicating that the band’s sound has definitely matured over the years. In talking about the new documentary and the band’s history, Jon Bon Jovi acknowledged that his songwriting has evolved a lot over the years. Listen to the audio clip at Hollywood Outbreak.

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.

The docuseries 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.

Bon Jovi continues their 40th anniversary celebration with the 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.
