The inside story of Bon Jovi’s formative touring years, from 1983-1989, is revealed in the new book “Sex, Drugs and Bon Jovi” by LI-based author Richard Bozzett.

Writing in a personable, approachable style, Bozzett gives readers some surprising details about life on the road with NJ native Bon Jovi, sharing his personal experience with:

Bon Jovi’s management’s connection to the largest cocaine and marijuana trafficking operations of their time, which led to multiple run-ins, while touring, with the DEA.

— Details on Bon Jovi’s use of speed prior to shows to get “amped up” and Halcion after shows to allow him to sleep

— How the Living on A Prayer tour saved the band from financial chaos

— Never-before-released photos of the band touring, partying, and family get-togethers, shedding a new light on the early days of Bon Jovi, plus a “Sex Scandal” that never leaked.

    I have been a Bonjovi fan all my life, and I was skeptical about getting this book. But I got it last Saturday and couldn’t put it down! It’s got it all–the good, the bad and the ugly–with pictures that I’ve never seen before(and believe me I’ve seen all the band pictures). These were intimate pictures that tell the story of what it was really like during that amazing time. I LOVED it and I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the band!
