Founding Member of Bon Jovi ?
From what I understand all band members were the hired help of Jon Bon Jovi - paid employees

Yup. I hit the 3/4 century mark tomorrow. We have an open jam session planned so I can play some music with friends. Which I do most every week anyway. LOL! 😁🎉🎸🎤

English translation...

“...At the moment, however, there is very little news about it. It seems that the bass player died of natural causes but, at the same time, he did not suffer from any disease...”
