The Story of Bon Jovi

Introduction:
Bon Jovi is an American rock band from New Jersey, formed in 1983.
When Jon Bon Jovi was 7 years old, he got his first guitar for Christmas but
by Boxing Day he had thrown it down the stairs and broken it. When he
was about 13 he regained his interest in playing the guitar, and rescued
his broken guitar. His neighbour started to teach him how to play. When
Jon was 14 and in high school, he formed first band, Starz.
