Bon Jovi has fired their long time manager Jack Rovner after it was reported that he messed up a couple of times during their current promotional tour. The first involved the sale of $1000 VIP tickets which included a meet and greet with the band but fans complained that they were never granted access to meet the rock stars. Then the band was booked in an “artist in residence” gig on NBC which prevented them from doing any promos on other networks. The real icing on top of the cake was when Jack became responsible for the Showtime documentary ‘When We Were Beautiful’ in which “Jon makes the rest of the band admit they are paid employees and owe everything to him.” The singer and the rest of the band released a pretty boring statement regarding the split saying that they just wanted to go in a different direction.

Jon Bon Jovi and Gwen Stefani are following in Taylor Swift’s sports bar crushing footsteps as the two singers are suing a hometown drinking establishment for allegedly jacking their music. According to a lawsuit filed in Minnesota, several of the pop stars’ compositions were publicly performed at Sally’s Saloon & Eatery and they claim that the bar never got the licensing it needed. Now, Bon Jovi, Gwen and other people who own copyrights to their music want the bar to pay damages and stop playing their songs. A rep at Sally’s wasn’t even aware of the lawsuit which could mean big trouble for them.

Bon Jovi is pretty much charging an arm and a leg for the band’s upcoming gigs at the O2 Arena in London and their fans are pretty upset about it. The upper tier ranges from 45 to 75 pounds while floor seating costs up to 200 pounds. An angry fan even started a website voicing concerns over ticket prices, explained “This means I’d have to pay £200 to get a good spot to see the band perform. Last time they played London I paid £75 for the same spot. And then I’m not even talking about the booking fees…” I have to admit – the prices are steep for any concert really, much less a Bon Jovi concert.
