Soon, the trailer cuts to footage of the band at the beginning of their career. “There was no plan B in my life,” Jon, 61, says in the trailer. “Bon Jovi was all or nothing.”
Then keyboardist David Bryan’s voice is heard sharing, “Five guys out of nowhere, and if you work hard enough and dream big enough, you can make it,”
As the trailer continues, fans get a glimpse of the band performing throughout the ’80s in lively clips with stadiums of people singing along to their songs.

“We were just crushing it. Everything any of those bands talk about, we’ve done it. It was really fun and I thought everyone else was enjoying it too.” Jon’s voice is heard in various clips of the band embracing that rock ‘n roll lifestyle, from enjoying the crowd at the stadium to signing fans’ chests.
But then he heard her yell, “Wrong!!” Coming soon, the trailer states that the series will explore the group’s darker days. Drummer Tico Torres says that time of the band’s success “destroyed” his marriage, while Jon adds, “It almost killed us.”
“I don’t regret leaving,” says the founder of Sambor, 64. “I regret how I did it.”

As the members briefly touched on Sambora’s departure from the band, they continued to share how they want to keep it going — all these years later.
In addition to highlighting the band, fans will learn more about Jon’s voice issues, which he began to deal with as the documentary begins filming in February 2022. “I don’t know if there’s going to be a happy ending,” an off-camera voice is heard as Jon cries into his arms.
In promotion of the upcoming series, Jon shed some light on his health at Hulu’s panel for new docuseries in late February. “They were taking away my craft,” he said of his “atrophied” vocal cords.
“I say in the movie, and in the final episodes, if I just got my tool back, I could deal with the rest,” he said. “I can write you a song, I can perform as well as anyone else. But I have to get my tool back.”
