The 62-year-old musician is still grieving the death of his mother, Carol. She died at a New Jersey medical center on July 9 at the age of 83. She was just three days shy of her next birthday. The family has not disclosed the cause of death.
“Our mother was a force to be reckoned with, and her spirit and can-do attitude shaped our family. We will miss her greatly,” Jon Bon Jovi said. The singer’s family said the family will hold a private funeral at the funeral home. Carol is well-known to the artist’s fans; she chaired his fan club, where everyone called her “Jovi’s mom,” for many years, according to People.
Carole was a Playboy model in her youth. She met Jon Bon Jovi Sr. in 1959. The couple has been married for 63 years. She worked as a florist, owned a flower shop and then opened several other business projects.
In her biographical book Jon Bon Jovi, author Laura Jackson said that it was Jon’s mother who encouraged him to pursue music from an early age. The Daily Mail writes that she bought him an acoustic guitar and advised him to learn to play, which he took seriously in his youth.
Jon Bon Jovi has previously said that his sons want to become fathers as soon as possible. Read about it here.
