BON JOVI Q&A FUNCTION at this website is no longer up and running. The function first launched in 2002 around the release of Bounce allowed fans to submit questions for a revolving cast of staffers to answer over the past several years. Now, several years later, its time to shut down the function. Previous questions and answers are still available to you to read and learn about the band. Much of the information you seek is available through archived questions/answers and on other sections of this website. Moving foward, important information about the band (as always) will be posted in the NEWS section of this website. Thanks for your questions - it's been a great run!

If you've kept an eye on recent news items coming out of Boston, you'll notice alot of Jon Bon Jovi! On Monday, Jon headed up to Gillette Stadium for Patriots practice and to hang with the players and his close friend, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. Then, this past Saturday, if you were watching the RedSox host the Yankees on FOX, you might have seen JBJ at Fenway. Jon headed to Boston to take in a game between the rival teams. He hung out with both teams in their lockerrooms, checked out the Green Monster, the field, the dugouts... great summer day to take in a ballgame. Jon's one-hour interview with Larry King finally aired on Wednesday night August 16th and then was repeated on SAturday, August 19th. We understand many fans around the world hoped the show would air in their territories but so far has not - we have no control over that. We wish we could help however, it is entirely up to CNN to determine what airs and when. The JBJ one-hour interview was bumped 3 times domestically so that the channel could focus on breaking news and Middle East coverage. Hopefully you'll be able to see the show in your parts. In the meantime, if you go to www.cnn.com and click on the link to Larry King Live, there have been clips from the show and a transcript. It's not the same but it's something! Finally, a note of advice -- if you do a google search for "news" on Jon Bon Jovi, there's a whole lot of fake "headlines" that come up. These are the fake news services that lift quotes from other legitimate interviews (be they radio, print, TV) and lift information for legitimate websites (like this one) and regurgitate the info as "news" items they pass on as entertainment news. Be careful what you believe -- they like to take stuff out of context and create false stories. They chose to lift lots of bits from the CNN show and now have fake stories up there. No, Jon is not giving up acting. That sort of nonsense. If you want REAL news, get it from a real source - this site -- not these fake hacks online!
