Jon Bon Jovi

Happy birthday, Jon Bon Jovi! Today the rocker turns 54.

John Francis Bongiovi, Jr. was born on March 2, 1962 in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. His parents, John Francis Bongiovi, Sr. and Carol Sharkey, met while in the Marines. Interestingly, his mother was also a former model and one of the first Playboy bunnies.

Jon’s interest in music began when he was young, and by his early teens, he knew he wanted to be a rock star. As the frontman of the rock band Bon Jovi, Jon has found great success. The band is considered one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time with over 130 million records sold worldwide. In 2009, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
