Jon Bon Jovi suffered when his daughter was shocked by “d*ugs”

Rocker Jon Bon Jovi has spoken out for the first time about his 19-year-old daughter’s drug shock scandal.

Last November, Stephanie, Rocker Jon Bon Jovi’s 19-year-old daughter, overdosed on drugs and was rushed to the emergency room in time to escape death.

51-year-old singer Jon Bon Jovi admitted he was shocked when his daughter called him from hospital after she woke up.

“That moment was terrible, arguably the worst of my life as a father. At first my daughter told me she was fine but when she told me what had happened, I immediately had to go home.”

Heartbroken and worried for his daughter, Jon Bon Jovi understands that many parents have experienced the same circumstances as him.

Stephanie is now back in school at Hamilton College. Jon also feels lucky that his daughter’s dark moments are over.

“What happened gave my daughter valuable lessons and I have to thank God that she got through the difficult times. I know many parents of children who find themselves in the same bad situations, even worse. The environment today makes it much harder for the kids to grow up than we used to.”
