In an interview with Howard Stern last year, Bon Jovi had come down heavily and criticized one of the persons who are on the Nominating Committee and runs the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He had said:

“I called him a few choice words and I’m never shy, when I see him, to call him a few more choice words. And there’s other guys on that thing that have made it their personal mission to [expletive] with me. And that’s okay. I get it. I’ve sold more records than their artists.”

Bon Jovi had avoided telling names but it is believed that he was talking about Jann Wenner, Rolling Stone editor, and publisher. Jann is also the co-founder of the Rock Hall and Chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation which is based in New York City. He is however not part of the nominating committee.

Besides Bon Jovi’s Jersey Rockers, the other bands which have made it to the nomination list include Kate Bush, The Cars, Depeche Mode, Dire Straits, Eurythmics, The J. Geils Band, Judas Priest, LL Cool J, MC5, The Meters, The Moody Blues, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Rufus featuring Chaka Khan, Nina Simone, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Link Wray, and The Zombies.

He was unable to sing and had to skip chunks of songs. Tweets were sent out later to let the audience know what the problem was. It said:

“Jon is good. W e feel allergies got the best of him 2/3’s through set. Still 2 hour show. He feels bad to have cut. The audience was AMAZING-Matthew Bongiovi May 14 2013”

This was not the first time. When singing in England one summer, Jon had to take a steroid injection before the open-air concert.
