A four-part Bon Jovi documentary, “Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story”, premieres on Hulu this Friday.

The documentary will reportedly include interview footage with Jon Bon Jovi, former guitarist Richie Sambora, keyboardist Dave Bryan and drummer Tico Torres, as well as fellow New Jersey rocker Bruce Springsteen, who shares, “Jon’s choruses demand to be sung by 20,000 people in an arena.”

A trailer released last month highlights archival footage from the band’s early days, performance clips from over the years and more.

It also shows Jon Bon Jovi addressing his recent vocal issues and worries about the future of the band.

“The thing that gave me so much pleasure had been taken away,” Bon Jovi said during a recent interview with People Magazine. “Joy is something you got to work at, right? Happiness is what you make it. It’s not about seizing the day anymore. I think it’s about embracing the day.

“I don’t have to punch it in the face anymore, now I just give it a hug, and that’s a good place to be.”

Directed by Gotham Chopra, the documentary had its premiere at South by Southwest on March 14. Read more here.
