Jon Bon Jovi built one of rock's most enduring catalogs as the frontman and driving force behind Bon Jovi, a band that has sold over 140 million albums worldwide. Tracks like You Give Love a Bad Name, Livin' on a Prayer, Keep the Faith and It's My Life became staples of hard rock and pop rock radio, cementing his status as one of the genre's defining voices. Beyond the band, he has carved out a genuine solo career: his 1990 album Blaze of Glory spawned the massive title track hit, while his 1997 follow up Destination Anywhere came paired with a feature length film that worked through deeply personal subject matter, including the death of the daughter of Bon Jovi's then tour manager. He has also taken on acting roles in film and television, appearing in productions ranging from U 571 to Sex and the City.
