The Legendary Bon Jovi - Chastity Emmanuelle / 16207065 .


Bon Jovi is a legendary hard rock band from Sayreville, New Jersey with frontman Jon Bon Jovi, guitarist Richie Sambora, keyboardist David Bryan, bassist Alec John Such, and drummer Tico Torres as the members. This group is highly successful, especially in the 1980s. Even with the departure of Alec John Such in 1994, Bon Jovi managed to sell over 120 millions albums worldwide over the past 25 years.

Bon Jovi has proven that they are worthy of becoming a legend they are now. They recorded their third
and fourth album (Slippery When Wet and New Jersey) in 1986 and 1988 and both of the albums made them score hit singles, win numerous awards, and earn chances to be on the same stage as huge bands such as Metallica, Anthrax, Scorpions, and Motley Crue. They started becoming famous worldwide and went on a series of touring. After having a two-year break, the band came back with double platinum record Keep The Faith and continued on making platinum albums ever since. In 1999, after being on hiatus for three years, the group returned to studio and with the release of more chart-topping albums, hit singles, and live performances all over the world, Bon Jovi successfully enlarged their fan base everywhere. Their list of achievements was elongated when they finally received a Grammy, the most prestigious award for outstanding achievements in music industry, for Best Country Collaboration for the single "Who Says You Can't Go Home". Other terrific accomplishments they made include being welcomed to the UK Music Hall of Fame alongside big names like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, U2, and Elvis Presley and also becoming the first ever American band to perform in the Royal Variety Performance in England in front of the Queen herself. I personally think that their hard work has paid off and fame is the least they can get after all their contributions to the music industry.
