Jon Bon Jovi has laid bare the ups and downs of being one of the world’s biggest rockstars in The Big Issue’s Letter To My Younger Self.
The 58-year-old music legend opened up to Jane Graham about the support his parents gave him, the joy and trepidation of parenthood, and how he’s fixing hunger and homelessness in the US through his Soul Foundation.
But there have also been “dark” times in his career, he said, especially while facing the stresses of non-stop touring.
“When I hit that dark period a couple of times throughout my career, losing people along the way, there were times it was deeply dark, and deeply hurtful and I wouldn’t wish that on myself, ever,” he said.
“But it’s a part of life. You come through it. It doesn’t make you feel good. But it makes sense. You know, there’s reasons why people get off the ride. And it’s probably so that you can continue on that journey.”
