Meco was struggling to find teh right vocalist for the song and suggested John sing for the song "R2-D2 We Wish You a Merry Christmas", which became Bon Jovi's first professional recording (credited as John Bongiovi)

Seems strange to include a photo of a convicted child abuser on an article about Jon Bon Jovi with seemingly no context. Can it be removed? Ollielukefrancis (talk) 10:03, 30 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
They were in the photo together. I am concerned with the removal, because the reasoning seems to be rooted in public relations white washing and reputation management activity given the initial removal having been done at the hands of subject's public relations editor Talk:Jon_Bon_Jovi/Archive_1#semi_protected_image_request,_11_April_2023Graywalls (talk) 09:14, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

What does that line mean in the early life section? It goes on to say his dad was a barber and his mother a Playboy Bunny. I’m surprised such a glaring error is on a major article. Can that be clarified or fixed? Alexandermoir (talk) 19:03, 10 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Chiselinccc (talk) 13:00, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
Done.
