He’s in addition the writer of the successful Broadway musical “Memphis”. Bryan was the very first to get a call when Jon Bon Jovi learned he had received a recording contract, and consented to join the group. He shortened his complete name to his first and middle names. Bryan has played keyboards and sung on all of Bon Jovi’s records, along with the solo endeavors of Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora. In the late 1990s, prior to Bon Jovi coming together to record Crush, Bryan almost severed his finger in a house injury involving a circular saw. Following annually of rehabilitation and treatment, Bryan recovered movement in his finger and went back to playing the keyboard. Bryan was hospitalized. He described the pain as ” It ate out my gut lining, my intestines, and assaulted my nerve endings. It was within my bloodstream; I was poisoned. I was 145 pounds, and I used to be actually sick in the hospital for 2 weeks… then bedridden in the home, to get a month”. He recuperated and, in 1992, he and the group did “Keep The Faith” demonstrating the group is still together since “New Jersey”.
