Despite a trend among artists to sell off their music catalogs, Jon Bon Jovi remains steadfast in his decision to retain ownership of his songs, which he affectionately refers to as his "babies."
While several prominent musicians have cashed in on their catalogs in recent years, including Bon Jovi's former songwriting partner Richie Sambora, the rock icon has no plans to follow suit. With his band's catalog experiencing a surge in value and a new album on the horizon, Bon Jovi sees no need or desire to part with his musical legacy.
The enduring popularity of Bon Jovi's songs, such as "Livin' on a Prayer," which recently reached a billion streams on YouTube and Spotify, underscores the timeless appeal of his music. As the band celebrates its 40-year journey in the new documentary "Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story," Bon Jovi reflects on the challenges, including vocal cord issues, that have tested the band's resilience over the years.
While the prospect of a "Forever" Tour remains on the horizon, Bon Jovi emphasizes the band's commitment to delivering top-notch performances. While a Las Vegas residency may not be in the cards for now, Bon Jovi entertains the idea of returning to his roots with a series of concerts in his home state of New Jersey.
Reflecting on the band's remarkable longevity, Bon Jovi marvels at the journey from his big-haired teen dreams to the enduring success of Bon Jovi today. With hit records and sold-out concerts still on the agenda, Bon Jovi remains grateful for the "miracle" of being able to live out his rock and roll dreams four decades later.
