Unauthorized Bon Jovi Memoir Goes International

NEW YORK, August 11, 2010/PRNewswire/ --

- Sex, Drugs and Bon Jovi Available Worldwide through Amazon

With fans worldwide clamoring for an inside look at how Jon Bon Jovi and
his band catapulted to fame, a sensational new unauthorized memoir is now
available internationally through Amazon. Sex, Drugs and Bon Jovi, written by
original tour manager Rich Bozzett, tells what went on behind the scenes as
the band transformed into a top-selling hit maker with a defining impact on
popular culture.

During his time on the road with the Bon Jovi band from 1983 to 1989,
Bozzett witnessed the ups and downs before the aspiring rock star became
famous. His memoir recounts what one reviewer called "a gripping first-person
tell-all that chronicles an iconic music phenomenon."

Due to Bon Jovi's huge international following, the memoir is being made
available to a wider audience of readers outside the United States. "Jon and
his band have fans far and wide and my book will give them an up-close
account of how the group got to where they are now and what they did along
the way," said Bozzett.

The memoir meticulously documents life on the road from the group's first
performances as an opening act before a few hundred people to selling more
than 130 million records and performing for more than 34 million fans
worldwide. It includes details of how the breakout success of the Slippery
When Wet tour saved the band from financial chaos and how in-fighting and
overwork led to its two-year breakup in 1990. Among the memoir's revealing
details are Jon's use of drugs before and after each show and the unintended
effects they had on him and how the band was linked to one of the nation's
largest cocaine and marijuana drug smuggling operations at the time, leading
to frequent run-ins with airline security and the D.E.A., including strip
searches of Jon.

The book is available online for US$24.95 plus shipping and handling at
