" The record company used to lie about my age, " He Said . " I was 31 when I joined. I was a good 10 Years older than the rest of The Band . My Sister eventually got really mad because the papers would describe her as my older sister when really she was younger. "

The age gap was The Reason he eventually left, He Said .

" When I was 43, I started to get burned out. It felt like work and I didn't want to work. The Reason I got into A Band to begin with is because I didn't want to work. "

" When Jon Bon Jovi called me up and asked me to be in his band many years ago, I soon realised how serious he was and he had A Vision that he wanted to bring us to, " He Said at The Time . " And I Am only too happy to have been a part of that vision. "
