Question
QUESTION: Hey you probably get this question alot but I really want to know if Jon Bon jovi is a christian or not?
any info would be great
thanks

ANSWER: Hello Faith

Thanks for contacting me.

Jon Bon Jovi has never publicly discussed his personal opinion on God or any particular faith.  He has talked about having a Catholic upbringing, he has worn a crucifix on occasion, there are obviously references to God in some Bon Jovi songs but what any of this means to Jon specifically, is personal and not something I believe he would openly discuss.

Hope this helps you.

Regards
Cathy

QUESTION: thanks have you heard anything about the band breaking up?

Answer
Hello again Faith

Rest assured there is absolutely no truth in any rumour or suggestion you may have heard in regards to the band breaking up. Not happening!

As you may know Bon Jovi are currently touring with their "The Circle" album and they are having alot of fun, enjoying the shows, the music and the fans.  This band is not going anywhere!

Expertise

I have been a Bon Jovi follower/admirer for twenty plus years and I am a complete music lover. I believe I have a broad minded insight into the band, as I am Australian born, New York based and the observations made in regards to the differences and similarities with fans, the charts, the media attitude and more continues to be very interesting for me. I believe that each band member brings their own magic to the BJ table and collectively they give the fans and the music world something unique and special. In this, I always look at the band as equal parts of the equation. I have also worked for a record company and have been involved in artist promotion. The behind-the-scenes activity is both fascinating and challenging at times, and there is always something to be learnt!

Experience

Long time Bon Jovi devotee with a genuine interest in the band and their music. However, I cannot provide in depth answers relating to chords and musical arrangements and song format, etc. As a non-musician I know the basics of instruments used by the band but nothing too detailed. I also know the basics in terms of chart positioning, managment and official fan club information, road crew and the like. And I can help in regards to band lyrics and their extensive discography.
