Bon Jovi is an American rock band that was formed in Sayreville, New Jersey in 1983. The band includes singer Jon Bon Jovi, keyboardist David Bryan, drummer Tico Torres, guitarists John Shanks and Phil X, percussionist Everett Bradley, and bassist Hugh McDonald. Originally, Alec John Such played bass until he left the band in 1994, and longtime guitarist and co-songwriter Richie Sambora departed in 2013. Throughout their career, Bon Jovi has released sixteen studio albums, five compilations, and three live albums, and has sold over 130 million records worldwide, establishing themselves as one of the best-selling American rock bands. Their breakthrough came with the 1986 album Slippery When Wet, which produced multiple hit singles including two number ones, and their 1988 album New Jersey also achieved significant commercial success with several Top 10 singles. The band continued to evolve with albums like Keep the Faith, which included the hit Bed of Roses, and These Days, which showcased a more mature sound. The 2000 album Crush marked a successful reintegration to a younger audience with the hit single It’s My Life. Their subsequent releases, including Have a Nice Day and Lost Highway, incorporated country elements, with Lost Highway earning a Grammy Award for the single Who Says You Can’t Go Home. After the departure of Sambora, Bon Jovi released their first album without him, This House Is Not for Sale, in 2016.
