Jon Bon Jovi recently held a press conference to discuss a new documentary series about his life and the band Bon Jovi, titled “Thank you, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story”. The band has sold over 130 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling bands of all time. The documentary aims to capture the band’s 40-year journey, with a focus on both the past and the future.

Gotham Chopra, the executive producer and director of the film, highlighted the extensive research and footage that was gathered for the documentary, including performances from Wembley and the Moscow Peace Festival. Interviews were conducted by Chopra himself to ensure an unbiased perspective, with Jon Bon Jovi refraining from influencing the responses of interviewees.

He acknowledged that while he has had few regrets, he is grateful for the opportunity to pursue his dreams and continue to work towards his goals. Despite facing health challenges, Jon remains optimistic about the future and is eager to return to performing once he fully recovers.
The documentary is set to be released on Hulu on April 26th, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at the life and career of Bon Jovi.
