Bon Jovi Turn Down $1 Million Book Deal

Rockers Bon Jovi have turned down a $1 million (GBP500,000) book deal - because their private lives are "no one's business".

Frontman Jon Bon Jovi claims publishers were particularly interested in the stories of bandmates David Bryan and Richie Sambora who have both been through painful divorces. Sambora, who recently lost his father to lung cancer, also checked out of rehab on Wednesday. But despite the huge sum of money offered to the Livin' on a Prayer stars, the rockers are not prepared to pen a tell-all book about their life experiences.

Bon Jovi says, "One of those big publishers gave us a million dollars recently to write a book about our experiences but we just gave the money right back because it's no one's business. "They wanted the cliched story about being a rock star and I'm not going to tell them. It doesn't mean it didn't happen, it just means isn't there anything more important to talk about?"

I would have liked to read that kinda stuff. We need some juicy stories about the band; we all know the other stuff.

Why did David and Richie exactly divorce? For what addiction Richie had to be treated? What did he do when he misbehaved over there?

And of course, the stories about Jon (and others) cheating with groupies on their wifes.

BJ scandals; bring them on!
