Lainey Wilson has gained the attention of millions of country music fans and she can count rocker Jon Bon Jovi among them. She spilled on a precious memento she cherishes from the legendary lead singer. Keep reading for all the details.
Jon Bon Jovi Praises Lainey Wilson
Lainey Wilson is one of the biggest names in country music right now. But it took her over a decade to reach this stage of her career. New Jersey rocker Jon Bon Jovi knows about being a young artist trying to break into the music industry. While his band, Bon Jovi, is one of the most successful rock bands on the planet, it wasn’t always that way.
He recently reflected on how the band’s humble beginnings in the Hulu docuseries Thank you, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story. After 40 years in the industry, Jon Bon Jovi could be a great mentor for younger artists.
Country artist Jelly Roll is new to music, but he isn’t young. He spent his younger years in trouble with the law. Now pushing 40, Jelly Roll has found success in country music. He recently spoke with Jon Bon Jovi in a revealing interview for Interview magazine.
The two found common ground on the topic of marriage. Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunny XO, got married in a spur-of-the-moment wedding in Vegas. Jon Bon Jovi famously eloped with now-wife Dorothea at the height of the band’s fame.
Jelly Roll and JBJ also share a mutual respect for Lainey Wilson. Her name came up during their conversation. The rock legend gushed over both musicians.
“Not only was she awesome at MusiCares, but then I saw her perform at Clive [Davis]’s thing, where she came out with you and did “Save Me.” Both of you played for a different audience that fell in love with you that weekend and went, “Holy f*ck, look at this talent.”
She Shares Precious Memento From The Rocker
Entertainment Tonight caught up with Lainey Wilson at last week’s CMA Fest and asked about the shout-out. She said it was “pretty cool” and revealed that she has a precious memento from Bon Jovi’s frontman.
She revealed that he wrote her “a little letter.” While she declined to share what the letter said, she did drop one tidbit: he included his phone number, and the two texted. The country singer said Jon Bon Jovi offered her encouragement on her blooming career.
