even in the face of early rejections.
00:27.8
When people who didn't believe in you
00:30.4
when you were starting out told you,
00:31.9
I don't think so, you said, I think so.
00:34.5
How did you nurture that mindset?
00:36.8
Sheer will, blind faith, naivete, youth.
00:43.5
All of those elements were very integral
00:45.4
because I was so young.
00:48.3
You know, I think any kid at that age
00:50.2
thinks they're going to be an athlete,
00:52.0
an astronaut, or a rock and roll star.
00:55.6
You know, there's an innocence to that.
00:57.8
Little incremental steps early on
01:01.1
made me believe that it could happen.
01:04.6
And so I was fortunate enough to have that success
01:08.0
and right runaway and get a record deal
01:10.6
when I was still 20 or 21 years old.
01:14.7
Through personal videos and never-before-seen photos,
01:18.0

01:40.2
facing his mortality and the realities of aging.
01:43.7
Scenes showing you struggling to sing,
01:46.6
something that used to be as easy as breathing to you.
01:49.5
I almost wanted to look away
01:51.7
because the pain, that vulnerability
01:53.7
was all too real and devastating.
01:56.5
But taken as a whole,
01:57.8
it's also very inspiring.
01:60.0
So what helped you decide
02:01.5
to honestly show what you're going through?
02:04.4
We didn't want to make a vanity piece here.
02:07.8
What was the purpose in that?
02:09.9
You know, and I didn't want it to just be my story.
02:12.5
It had to be our collective story.
02:14.8
So band members past and present
02:16.6
all got to speak their truth.
02:19.0
And that is, in fact, you know,
02:20.6
the only reason to do something like this.
02:24.5
And we're very proud of the outcome.
02:27.8
Award-winning documentarian Gautam Chopra,
02:30.5
who also directed Kobe Bryant's 2015 documentary Muse,
02:35.1
is the filmmaker behind the four-part Bon Jovi docuseries.
02:39.1
You know, being a rock star isn't particularly relatable,
02:43.0
but being a human being who's struggling with something is.
02:46.7
And I just felt like this will give all of that
02:52.4
This June, Bon Jovi will also release
02:54.4
their latest album called Forever.
02:56.4
If you work hard enough...
02:57.8
