Jon Bon Jovi Pays Tribute to Late Mother Carol Bongiovi: ‘A Force To Be Reckoned With’
Jon Bon Jovi paid tribute to mother, Carol Bongiovi, who died in a New Jersey hospital at 83 on Tuesday (July 9), just days short of her 84th bday.
In addition to being a former Playboy playmate and florist, Carol was married to barber and fellow Marine veteran John Francis Bongiovi Sr. and operated her son’s fan club for many years. In the visual, Jon strummed an acoustic guitar in front of a wall of family photos — including a giant black and white snap of his folks with their eldest son — as he sang about familia love. In an interview with the Big Issue in 2020, Bon Jovi, 62, spoke lovingly of the lessons he learned from his parents, especially their unwavering support after his admittedly “terrible” first talent show performance as a teen.
