Jon Bon Jovi recalled Bill Belichick traveling with the band on a European tour in the 1990s

Jon Bon Jovi’s Bill Belichick story from the 1990s: It’s well known at this point that Bill Belichick, despite the surly demeanor he projected for decades as coach of the Patriots, is also something of a music fan.

Specifically, Belichick is a Bon Jovi fan, given the frontman Jon Bon Jovi’s presence at several Patriots games (and practices) over the years.

In a recent interview with Julian Edelman’s “Games With Names” podcast, Bon Jovi offered a little more detail on Belichick’s musical interests.

“Few people know that he was a closet drummer,” Bon Jovi explained, catching Edelman — who spent years with Belichick — a little off-guard.
