Long time since I wrote something on this board but I think Jon must have gone through decompression from the tour. I am sure Jon kept the show going through the tour but it must have been a heavy tour for him considering what happened. Album that did not work, Richie leaving the tour, having to keep up having the 'biggest' or 'highest grossing' tour ...

I think Jon is now in his 'off - time' where he totally stopped being JBJ the rockstar. It must be tiring being JBJ 24/7


I am sure when Bon Jovi gets back to recording, touring and so on we will see a total different Jon ...


Anyway ... Jon is still in great physical shape at 52 but we are just used of the guy who never seemed to get old(er) ...

Could also be that having grey hair is Jon's final attempt to get taken serious by whomever he needs to take him serious


The only thing I care about is - will he still put effort in making a kick ass record. Will he do his best to get his voice in shape as good as he can?

Jon is letting middle age get the better of him.

Bruce is 64 and still chasing pussy down on the beach, this is something to aspire to.

its cos Jon wants to be taken seriously for his philanthropic work not his looks or music now..

That's why he broke his foot and began turning into an old man? That's dedication to the cause.

That's the point: I don't care if he looks like seventy, but he sings like it and that IS the problem.

I'm 100% that Bruce takes HGH

Blasphemy!

HGH would only be of real use to him to grow big muscles. He's lean and needs endurance over size. His workout routine is on the internet. It's pretty intense.

At least when Jon winds up on crutches people don't assume he got drunk and fell of a ladder while changing a light bulb. They may assume other strange things, but at least they don't assume he's an addict.

What's your point apart from the thinly veiled dig at Richie?

And 90% of other rock/pop/rap stars.

You're the one who pointed out that breaking his foot was dedication to the cause. I think it's surreal how people assume that whatever Jon does is related to some political aspiration, some bid for respect, or some means to get a football team--even when it's stuff as simple as letting his hair go gray or winding up on crutches.

At least he's not an addict no matter what else people think about his motives.
