Everett Bradley

Who is this guy and why is he playing with Bon Jovi (and yes, this is a serious question, have nothing against him etc. just interested in facts...)?

He is a percussionist and has been performing on and off with the band since 2003, and much longer with Jon and Richie's solo acts. Not a fact so much as a theory, the band needed an extra voice once Bobby was gone.

I'll back this theory as well... I'll even say both Bobby and Richie...

Although he's not from Jersey, he's part of that circle playing with a lot of those guys including Bruce.

With Jon reinventing the band, it's safe to say that he found some charismatic guys to take the attention from the missing link... Vocals aside, he's interesting to watch along with Phil... Some of the new music requires some additional effects that Everett fills in nicely... He's a great addition and it's a win/win.

He is also a terrific tap dancer and a choreographer. Read his list of theater credits here: http://www.everettbradley.com/theater/#moretheater

Why Bobby's not there anymore? (dont actually miss him...)

*Shrugs* No one has officially said.

I don't miss him either - and I always liked Bobby (as a guitarist for Southside Johnny). I heard that he had a falling out with Jon and that was it. I can imagine that Everett Bradley might have brought a voice that was needed. Perhaps his percussion was not needed but his voice is appreciated by me.

Bobby is still doing stuff here at the Jersey shore - perhaps that is what he wanted after all these years of traveling.

A member here said that he spoke to someone on the inside and Jon told Bobby to get in shape for the upcoming tour, which was the last one for Burning Bridges, and Bobby told Jon to F Off...

but didn't Bobby play with Jon and the kings of.. in 2015 after the asia tour?

Why the hell isn't there any youtube videos of the man Tap dancing!!!????
