London, 2 May 2012 – CNBC, the leading business and financial news network, launches the second season of its successful CNBC Meets programme with an exclusive interview with global rock icon and philanthropist Jon Bon Jovi, which premieres on Wednesday, 16th May at 10.00pm BST.
The CNBC Meets series
features up close and personal interviews with some of the world’s most
successful people and asks them how they have achieved success in their
career, their home life and about their commitments to philanthropy.
The
second series kicks off with an exclusive interview with one of the
world’s most successful artists, Jon Bon Jovi. His band Bon Jovi,
formed in 1983, has become one of the most successful rock bands in the
world, selling over 130 million albums, performing in over 50 countries
for over 34 million fans, and whose last two world tours outsold the
likes of Justin Bieber, Kanye West and Katy Perry combined.
In this exclusive and rare interview, Jon Bon Jovi reveals to CNBC Meets
presenter Tania Bryer, his passion and dedication to his philanthropic
work and takes Tania on a tour of a Philadelphia neighbourhood that is
one of the many affordable housing projects helmed by the Jon Bon Jovi
Soul Foundation (www.jonbonjovisoulfoundation.org). In a candid
interview, Jon talks about his childhood, his breakthrough into the
music business and how he manages his ‘Day Job’ and family life.
Filmed on location in Red Bank, New Jersey, at the site of the JBJ Soul Kitchen and
on the streets of Philadelphia, the viewer will gain an insight into
the real Jon Bon Jovi as he gives an incredibly honest interview
revealing the man behind the rock star image.
The programme also features interviews with Jon’s inspiration and mentor, Sister Mary Scullion, co-founder of Project H.O.M.E. , and a sit down interview with President Bill Clinton, a close personal friend and supporter of Jon’s foundation.
