Jon Bon Jovi seems to be enjoying a crash-course in Britishness while in London. A couple of days before we meet he took the Tube from central London to Wembley Stadium to announce the band’s show next summer. “Your subway is very efficient, man,” he notes approvingly. Then on he went to his first Premier League football match, Arsenal against Crystal Palace at the Emirates. Of course, being American, Bon Jovi calls it a “soccer game”. And being a mega star who has sold 130 million albums, he wasn’t in the cheap seats either.
“My seat was heated and I got to meet your Prime Minister,” beams the 63-year-old rocker. “A gentleman. A real classy guy.”
