Bon Jovi’s secret life exposed in new book
[HMG Celebrity News] – Rock stars lead crazy lives, and books about their antics make great reading. But a new book about Jon Bon Jovi by his former manger, Rich Bozzett has some people upset.
Inventively titled, ‘Sex, Drugs and Bon Jovi’ the 168-page book recalls the band’s early years, from their start as an opening act in front of 150 people, to selling 130-million albums and world tours that drew over 34-million fans.
Bozzett joined the band in 1983 and stayed for six years. And he’s now eager to share;
“As tour manager, I lived with the band and saw it all — from the incredible fans, to how they dealt with the drugs, booze and sex that were part of that world.” his intro reads.
The book also offers previously unseen photos, giving fans a rare glimpse of the band’s early days. Among them are photos of Diane Lane — Jon’s girlfriend at the time. She and John were a solid item, then Diane got too close to the band’s guitarist Richie Sambora and Jon promptly dumped her.
But don’t feel bad for Diane – On August 15, 2004 she married Josh Brolin.
“The very thing that made Jon so passionate toward Diane ended up as the reason for their breakup,” Bozzett recalls. “Diane was young and loved to party. But Jon caught her partying with Richie Sambora, and that wasn’t a good day.”
Jon then hooked up with his high-school sweetheart; Dorothea Hurley. They married in 1989 and now have four children. But Rich says he’d guess Dorothea didn’t know about Jon’s brush with genital crabs.
“It may have been from a visit to a bath-house, or contact with all those fashion models,” Bozzett muses. “And in Japan nobody has body hair, so they never had crabs; Much less any meds to get rid of them.”
And the solution sounds less than attractive;
“Jon has a coat of hair like a pony and the crabs were everywhere. A local hospital tried to pull them off individually with tweezers. Jon came running out screaming, ‘Let’s get out of here.’”
Reps for Diane Lane had nothing to say about Rich’s book, but the band’s spokesman, Ken Sunshine was keen to rebuff the tales;
“Rich is remembered as a nice guy who was in over his head as the band’s success grew,” he tells reporters. “As far as his attempt to cash in on alleged experiences 21-years ago…No comment.”
I think that says it all. If you love the band, do you believe Rich’s stories?…

What Mr Bozzett really needs to understand is that dedicated Bon Jovi fans don’t care about his book….and by the way, we know why Jon and Diane Lane broke up…Jon loves Dorothea…end of story…..
Also, Mr Bozzett, OOPS! you’ve broken a federal law (HIPAA) by writing publicly about ANYONE’s protected personal health information.
Jon Bon Jovi’s personal health information is just that – PERSONAL, and the dedicated fan doesn’t care what diseases he has had or has. Even though many of us female Bon Jovi fans would love to be married to Jon Bon Jovi, we respect Dorothea and pray she is not hurt by your thoughtless disclosure, if it is true. We love Bon Jovi’s music, the band’s optimism and their dedication to continuing to bring us awesome rock and roll.
We love Jon…We love David…We love Richie…We love Tico
Nothing in you sleazy book will ever change that.
BTW….the feds are after you.
Forgot to add to the above comment that Mr BozzetT seems to have failed to learn one cardinal social rule…..a rule that most have mastered by age 12 – NO ONE LIKES A TATTLE TALE.
Go to hell Bozzet! We (true fans) don’t care about your book and will never buy that crap.
LOVE YOU BON JOVI, you’re the best!!!
bozzetti sucks! It’s only a bastard!
I can actually predict Rich Bozzett’s future ….. really I can……
BANKRUPTCY.
This says it all.We love Bon Jovi
I read this book and I don’t recall a single bad thing said about the band! It was all about how they made it to the top DESPITE the many obstacles in their way…I think “Jovifan” is confused and perhaps a tad hormonal because there’s no “tattling”… Honey, pick up a dictionary and learn to read. Your comments make you look like a ridiculous 12-year old.
Some very rude and defensive people here…
Bon Jovi is so lucky that you are here to defend them. Where would they be without Jovifan? Thank goodness for Jovifan, if not for you, there would be no bon Jovi! Oh thank you! Thank you!
I actually had the opportunity to penetrate, to some degree, the “circle” Rich Bozzett refers to in his book. I had actually met Rich (as well as all members of the band) on many occasions while he was working with the band as Gary (Gaz) Douglas, Richie’s late guitar technician, was a friend of mine. I hate to disillusion you all, but Jon Bon Jovi is not the “nice” guy everyone thinks he is. Bozzett’s book tells the truth. His claims are things I was privy to 20 years ago from others on the tour. Jon, while clearly still one of the most beautiful men on the planet, does not have a loyal bone in his body. He’s pretty much of an empty suit. There is no substance or modicum of anything genuine behind that awesome face. Sorry to disappoint.
