Bon Jovi is an American rock band formed in 1983 in Sayreville, New Jersey. The band's lineup consists of lead singer and namesake Jon Bon Jovi, keyboardist David Bryan, drummer Tico Torres, guitarist Phil X, and bassist Hugh McDonald. Over the past four decades, Bon Jovi has established itself as one of the most successful rock bands in the world, with an extensive discography, numerous hit songs, and millions of dedicated fans.
Bon Jovi first made a name for itself with its eponymous debut album in 1984, which included the hit single "Runaway." The band's follow-up album, "7800° Fahrenheit," was released in 1985 and helped to further establish Bon Jovi as a force in the rock world. In 1986, the band released its third album, "Slippery When Wet," which became one of the best-selling albums of the decade and solidified Bon Jovi's place as one of the biggest bands in the world. The album's hit singles, such as "Livin' on a Prayer" and "You Give Love a Bad Name," became rock anthems and remain popular to this day.
Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, Bon Jovi continued to release successful albums and hit songs, such as "Bad Medicine," "I'll Be There for You," and "Always." The band's popularity only continued to grow, and by the mid-1990s, Bon Jovi was considered one of the top rock bands in the world, with a massive international following. In 2000, the band released its eighth studio album, "Crush," which marked a return to the more guitar-driven rock sound that had made the band famous in the first place.
Bon Jovi's success has not waned in the 21st century, and the band has continued to release critically acclaimed albums and tour the world. In addition to its musical achievements, the band is also known for its philanthropic work, including its participation in various charitable causes and its support for organizations such as Habitat for Humanity.
