Watch the trailer for Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story
Jon Bon Jovi has spoken about his love of Elvis Presley in the new four-part Disney+ documentary, Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story.
During episode two, the 62-year-old frontman is interviewed at home while recovering from his vocal surgery, reflecting on his own mortality and career.
The singer said: “I saw the Elvis movie. I LOVED the Elvis movie.
“I realised how many things that I’d forgotten, but was very conscious of in my career that I had lifted from Elvis.
“And how many things in that movie touched my life directly.”

Bon Jovi continued: “Lisa Marie came to see me recording Young Guns. She was a kid. Priscilla had called me to do something after he had passed, which I didn’t do.
“We met [Elvis’ manager] the Colonel. The Colonel said to [our manager] Doc McGhee, ‘How do you make any money out of five them there Bon Jovis?’ Which I think is one of the great quotes ever.
“And then you forgot how great [Elvis] was. And he was young. He was 42 when he died and yet he could sing right until the end. He never lost his voice. Lost everything else, but his voice.”
Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story is streaming now exclusively on Disney+. The four-part documentary is avaialble with a Disney+ subscription, which starts at just £4.99 a month.
Bon Jovi, whose vocals are still recovering, but is hoping to tour again, added: “I’d rather be me putting the pieces back together than have been him burning out at 40 and being done. I’ve done a lot of living between 40 and 60 and it’s all been phenomenal.”
