Jon Bon Jovi Says Bruce Springsteen Is Like a 'Big Brother': We're on a 'Whole Different Level of Friendship'

Bruce Springsteen appears in the new Bon Jovi docuseries 'Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story,' streaming on Hulu on April 26.

Few artists have more hometown pride than New Jersey natives Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen — so it should be no surprise that two of the Garden State’s favorite sons have forged a fruitful friendship. Bon Jovi, 62, opens up to PEOPLE about his bond with The Boss, 74, explaining that while he considered Springsteen “a hero growing up,” he now knows him as a friend. Later in the series, Bon Jovi — who will release the new album Forever on June 7 — reveals that he and Springsteen take long drives together, with no phones and no radio to distract them, sometimes “for 100 miles.”
