Jon Bon Jovi is not a fan of Buffalo, NY.
Confirmed.
The rock star has his connection to the Queen City because of Buffalo Bills. As the story goes, current owners Terry and Kim Pegula decided to out-bid everyone from the rocker to the President en route to obtaining ownership of the team.
But also involved in that tale is Bon Jovi and Donald Trump. Back in 2014, Bon Jovi was viewed as the “evil empire” when the club was put up for sale. He wanted to own the Bills and move the team to Toronto, right? GQ Magazine previously disclosed how Trump, at the time, was involved in a plan of sorts to put that narrative out there when it might not have been totally true.
On Friday, GQ has now dropped some updated feelings on that whole scenario with help Bon Jovi himself. We’ve got two interesting things to note from his latest thoughts on the Bills and Buffalo.
First, he again says there were no intentions by him to move the Bills to Toronto. Of course, we only really have his word to go off of, but he says “I swear to you on a stack of Bibles” he didn’t want to move the Bills … adding he told other investors involved in his bid: “We’re not gonna get [the Bills] unless we keep this here.”
More notably from his GQ interview, Bon Jovi is clearly not over how things went down. Fans did have a distain for his attempt to purchase the team with a group of investors who were from Toronto. And because of that, you probably won’t be see him preforming at KeyBank Center or Bills Stadium any time soon.
“I won’t ever go back to the city of Buffalo,” Bon Jovi told GQ. “You will never see my face in Buffalo ever. I have knocked it off the map.”
… And that’s that…
Onto the Chiefs.
