Bon Jovi sets 'Actors Studio' appearance

NEW YORK, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- Members of the U.S. rock group Bon Jovi are to perform and be interviewed on "Inside the Actors Studio," Bravo said Thursday.

The episode is to air Nov. 16.

"Instruments in hand, the New Jersey natives reflect on their illustrious 26-year career together, each discussing their personal struggles along the way and describing how it was the band that ultimately held them together," Bravo said in a news release. "Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, David Bryan and Tico Torres answer all of James Lipton's probing questions, pausing only to demonstrate their musical skill with a few of their greatest hits from the past three decades."

Bon Jovi has sold more than 120 million albums and has played more than 3,000 concerts to more than 32 million fans in roughly 50 countries, Bravo noted.

Jon Bon Jovi's film and TV acting credits include "The West Wing," "Ally McBeal," "Pay It Forward" and "U-571."
