    He’s lucky to have seen Freddie Mercury. My favorite singer by far.

    David Bowie and Freddie Mercury singing "Under Pressure" ... my vision of HEAVEN!!!
  • @lisanester3338
    I saw Bon Jovi in a battle of the bands at the Beacon Theater in NYC back in the day. The top prize was a recording contract. Lots of talent on the stage that night but the winner was…you got it Bon Jovi! ❤
  • @jeffreyp1855
    Bon Jovi owns restaurants throughout Jersey, that feed the homeless and needy. Jon will personally spend time at these establishments washing dishes or serving people. Thanks, Jon! You are a great American! 🤘❤
  • @PaulShadwell
    The only problem with the Late Show on YouTube is that we don't get to see the band playing during the breaks.
  • @jakequinn2968
    Only time I’ve audibly reacted to a celeb story- seeing Bowie and Mercury sing that song together. Wow!
  • @hawtmess66
    So many memories of Bon Jovi. I've been along for the ride the whole 40 yrs. A lifetime of memories from the music. He turned in to a charitable man with all he does for the needy. He grew up to be a good dude. The documentary is really good too
  • @Mickey-rd5uo
    Such a class act, he’s been doing the talk show circuit , being asked basically the same questions all the time, and yet, he will answer politely and excitedly as if it was the very first time .
  • @kathleenmccrory9883
    I hope the mystery photographer sees this. What a cool photo for Bon Jovi to have.
  • @Chef_Jake
    Dude had a cool life, that’s for sure
  • @gwen3010

    Now when travelers say they need to stop and use the Jon, they are being extra accurate.

    My comment will be crazy here, but thank you Band, for playing Blind Faith. Can't Find My Way Back Home is and has always been in my top 5 songs of forever, and I am almost 63. That made me smile. Thank you!
