Soaring Wings

The photo that Jon Bon Jovi wanted destroyed.

Since its very beginning, there has been an impenetrable “CIRCLE” of secrecy surrounding Bon Jovi that no outsider has ever been able to penetrate. But now there’s the inside story of Bon Jovi—from their very first gig as an unknown opening act, through their ascent to unimaginable superstardom, told by the only person who was inside the circle with them every minute of the time—Bon Jovi tour manager Richard Bozzett.

The book reveals the astonishing connection between Bon Jovi and the two largest pot and cocaine trafficking operations of their time, how an ill-conceived publicity stunt turned into a career-threatening sex scandal, but ended up with the photographer dead and the pictures missing, PLUS, the shocking reasons for the band’s unofficial break-up at the height of their career and reformation 2 years later—along with hundreds of never-before-seen pictures that chronicle the entire story every step of the way!

However, a representative for Jon Bon Jovi has slammed the singer’s former tour manager for releasing a set of raunchy photos of the rocker in bed with topless women – insisting he’s attempting to “cash in” on his former boss’ fame.

Whether you’re a die-hard Bon Jovi fan, grew up listening to their music or have ever attended one of their concerts, this is the ONE book that will actually take you inside the circle and bring you closer to the band than ever before! Rich Bozzett has published a series of racy shots featuring the Bon Jovi frontman in a newly released memoir, Sex, Drugs and Bon Jovi.

Bozzett says the pictures, taken by famed rock photographer Ross Marino during Bon Jovi’s 7800 degree Fahrenheit tour in 1985, were meant to be publicity shots.

Bozzett writes, “A panic-stricken Jon Bon Jovi immediately called up Doc (his manager McGhee) to tell him that we needed to track down the pictures as soon as possible.”

Bon Jovi’s spokesperson has shrugged off the release of the raunchy, decades-old shoot, and slammed Bozzett’s alleged money motives.

The rep tells the New York Post, “This is an outtake of a photo shoot. Everyone should be so lucky at 22 years old… Rich is remembered as a nice-enough guy who was eventually in over his head as the band’s success grew. As far as his attempt to cash in on alleged experiences he had 21 years ago? No comment.”
