by Bon Jovi
First published 2009
Jon Bon Jovi and his bandmates break their usual media silence to reflect on a quarter century at the top of rock music. The book accompanies a documentary that tracked the group during their 2008 Lost Highway tour, capturing both their onstage performances and private moments at home. Band members discuss the realities of constant touring, the pressures of fame, and their individual personal crises that tested their bonds. Richie Sambora and other longtime members contribute their own perspectives alongside Jon's narrative. New photographs from the tour combine with archival images spanning their entire career to create a visual chronicle of their rise and endurance. After 25 years together, these rock veterans examine both their remarkable past achievements and their plans for what lies ahead.
