MICHAEL JACKSON SENT BUBBLES TO BE HIS PARTY ANIMAL In 1987 rock band Bon Jovi were staying at the same hotel in Japan as Michael Jackson. He had in fact taken ...a whole wing of the hotel to himself! Jon Bon Jovi and his bandmates went down a long corridor to the singer’s suite. Michael, however, was nowhere to be found. So Jon and his pals waited on the couch. When Michael finally arrived back, he made quite the entrance, decked out in one of his trademark outfits from the Bad Tour: all black leather and buckles, a spandex shirt, belts draped over his shoulder. When he entered the room, your eyes sort of had to focus again, singer Jon Bon Jovi remembers. So we made small talk and he couldn’t have been nicer, we kept saying, Michael, you’re sitting up here by yourself, man, we’re down two floors below you... we’re all here, on nights off we’re hanging out, come on down." While Bon Jovi had a blast two floors below with Bubbles, Michael continued practicing his dancing. He never came downstairs. In our room. We proceeded to get very drunk, have a bunch of water fights, knock on doors, typical classic rock star things to do in the eighties. And we blamed it all on Bubbles. Bon Jovi recalls. We were having a blast two floors below with Bubbles, and he was up there practicing his dancing, says Jon Bon Jovi. While we were being goofballs and enjoying our success, he was practicing even after the shows because he was just so ultra-uber-focused on being Michael Jackson. The blessing was the curse.
