The two were schoolmates, and instead of giving in to the excesses offered by rock star status, the musician followed his heart, which resulted in a happy family with four children. “She was with me when I had nothing, so we kind of made the journey together,” said the musician, who although he is often cited when it comes to marriage in music, makes a point of remembering that he is not the only one. “Bono has been married to Ali (Hewson) for the same amount of time, Bruce has been married almost as long to Patti (Scialfa). I’m not the only one.”

His wife also influenced the singer’s social consciousness, who until then was only focused on being successful with a rock band. In 2004, after purchasing an American football team, he became involved in the city’s community, and later created the JBJ Soul foundation, to “break the cycle of hunger, poverty and homelessness.” The foundation created Soul Kitchen in 2011, which, through a non-profit model, operates by providing food to those who cannot afford it.

With his involvement in the community came political awareness, and Jon Bon Jovi has supported Democratic politicians, and is concerned about the upcoming elections. “I’m scared to death. I don’t want to sound alarmist, but I worry about what will happen in eight months. I don’t want another authoritarian government, or to see history repeat itself,” he said.

“Forever”, Bon Jovi’s new album, will be released on June 7th via EMI.
