Rocker Jon Bon Jovi had some harsh words for Justin Bieber this week, slamming the
19-year-old in the press for showing up two hours late to a London show
back in March.
The “Blaze of Glory” singer told the Biebs via the
London Evening Standard, “It’s really not cool – you’re an asshole. Go to fuckin’ work!”
Apparently, the paper asked Bon Jovi his thoughts on Justin’s late start and his excuse that it was due to “technical issues.”
The
51-year-old responded, "Every generation has guys that do that, none of
that is new. They run the risk of disrespecting their audience members
who have worked hard to pay for their ticket, to give you the
permission to take two or three hours of their lives — or in that kid's
case, 80 minutes of their lives."Jon added, "Do it once, you
can be forgiven. Do it enough times and shame on you. They won't have
you back. Then it just becomes a cliché. It's really not cool — you're
an asshole. Go to fuckin' work!"
Bon Jovi spoke to the Evening
Standard on the Vienna leg of his Because We Can tour. The artist is
known for his live performances, sometimes playing for more than two and
a half hours.
