Jon Bon Jovi Has a Nice Day
Precious Williams, Daily Telegraph, 16 September 2005
GONE is the once fearsome mane of highlighted hair and without it Jon Bon Jovi is almost unrecognizable. Strolling into Beverly Hills' Four Seasons hotel, he looks like a man who looks a bit like Jon Bon Jovi. He arrives on time - almost unheard of for a rock icon. And there is no entourage, no fanfare, just one quietly attractive man (in very tight jeans). A man who happens to have sold 100 million records.
