Just over two weeks before MTV EMAs were set to take place on Sunday, Nov. 5, in Paris, Paramount announced on Thursday (Oct. 19) that the show has been canceled “given the volatility of world events.” This marks the first time the show has been canceled since it was launched in 1994. Even during the […]
Jon Bon Jovi will be honored as the 2024 MusiCares Person of the Year at the annual benefit gala, to be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Friday, Feb. 2, 2024 — two nights before the 66th annual Grammy Awards at the adjoining Crypto.com Arena.
In addition to his musical achievements, Jon Bon Jovi is being recognized for his philanthropic work. In 2006, he established the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, which is dedicated to disrupting the cycle of hunger, poverty and homelessness.
“I’m truly humbled to be this year’s MusiCares honoree,” Jon Bon Jovi said in a statement. “MusiCares’ work with music professionals is vitally important in creating much-needed support and wellness programs that cultivate a healthier and more vibrant community for us all. Philanthropic work has been a cornerstone of my life and has always run in tandem to my music career and achievements. Nearly two decades ago when I formed the JBJ Soul Foundation and JBJ Soul Kitchens, I saw firsthand and continue to see today the impact of charitable community-based work. I know this for sure: helping one’s community is helping one’s self.”
Jon Bon Jovi is 61, which makes him the youngest solo honoree since Don Henley received the honor at age 59 in 2007. (MusiCares usually selects veteran artists because they have decades worth of connections in the industry, which means more tickets and tables sold for the charity event.)
Jon Bon Jovi is the second New Jersey native to receive the honor, following Bruce Springsteen in 2013.
This isn’t the first time a group leader or key member of an ongoing band has been honored individually. Tom Petty (2017), Springsteen (2013), Bono (2003) and Henley (2007) were also singled out. Two groups have received the honor: Aerosmith (2020) and Fleetwood Mac (2018).
The Person of the Year ceremony is one of the marquee events during Grammy Week. It includes a cocktail reception, followed by a dinner and concert featuring other artists paying tribute to the honoree.
Since 1991, money raised from this gala goes toward MusiCares health and human services programs that assist the music community with physical and mental health, addiction recovery, preventive clinics, unforeseen personal emergencies and disaster relief.
“MusiCares is thrilled to honor Jon Bon Jovi at the 2024 Person of the Year Gala,” Laura Segura, executive director of MusiCares, said in a statement. “His remarkable contributions to rock and roll have not only left an indelible mark on the music industry, but also in the hearts of countless fans around the world. Furthermore, his long-standing commitment to serving food-insecure and unhoused individuals inspires us all. We’re looking forward to celebrating him and the many ways he has made a difference in this world.”
Jon Bon Jovi joins an impressive list of recent MusiCares honorees including Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson, Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood Mac and Dolly Parton.
The band Bon Jovi was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018. It received its one and only Grammy to date in 2007 for “Who Says You Can’t Go Home,” featuring Jennifer Nettles, which was voted best country collaboration with vocals.
The band has amassed six No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 – Slippery When Wet (1986-87), New Jersey (1988), Lost Highway (2007), The Circle (2009), What About Now (2013) and This House Is Not for Sale (2016).
The band has notched four No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 – “You Give Love a Bad Name,” “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “Bad Medicine” and “I’ll Be There for You.” In addition, Jon Bon Jovi has had one solo No. 1 on the Hot 100, “Blaze of Glory” (from Young Guns II).
The band has also had one No. 1 hit on the Hot Country Songs chart – and how many rock bands can say that? – with the aforementioned “Who Says You Can’t Go Home,” featuring Jennifer Nettles. The song led for two weeks in May 2006.
Since its inception in 2006, the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation has provided more than 700 units of affordable and supportive housing in 11 states and provided homes to 77 previously homeless veterans along with a stable of support onsite. Jon and his wife Dorothea opened the first JBJ Soul Kitchen in 2011, a nonprofit community restaurant with a pay-it-forward model and have since served more than 100,000 meals in multiple locations.
The Person of the Year event will again be produced by live event broadcast outfit Lewis & Clark, comprised of Joe Lewis and R.A. Clark. Rob Mathes will serve as musical director.

Individual tickets for the event start at $2,500. Better-situated individual tickets are priced at $3,500, $5,000 and $6,000. Tables (seating 12) start at $25,000 and go up to $70,000. But a three-table package can be had for $200,000, a $10,000 discount over the per-table price.
The 2023 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs), set for Sunday, Nov. 19, will include a first-of-its-kind collaboration with Spotify ‘Fans First’ to bring fans up-close-and-personal with their favorite artists. The BBMAs will roll out performances and awards across BBMAs and Billboard social channels, as well as via BBMAs.watch, on that date. Performances and award celebrations will take place in global locations, in the midst of sold-out tours and in custom venues.
The goal is to deliver a fresh award show concept that will entertain fans with hours of music and exclusive content, including winner celebrations, behind-the-scenes moments and performances created by the world’s biggest artists.
In addition, the BBMAs and Spotify have teamed to identify fans who have consumed the most hours of music over the past year and helped drive their favorite artist to the top spots on the Billboard charts. These fans will receive a “golden ticket” granting them access to attend a performance curated by their favorite artist, expressly for the 2023 Billboard Music Awards. Fans First is Spotify’s program that offers exclusive rewards and privileges like one-of-a-kind concerts, personal artist experiences, merch drops and first-in-line presales to an artist’s most devoted Spotify listeners.
“We’ve heard the fans loud and clear, and we’re excited to meet them where they are, and everywhere they want to consume music and content,” Maddy Mesevage, SVP, marketing, Dick Clark Productions, said in a statement. “This year’s show is an epic celebration of the fans who propelled their favorite artists to the top of the Billboard charts. To thank them, we are thrilled to work with Spotify and the artists themselves to offer their most loyal fans an experience they’ll never forget.”
Unique among music award shows, Billboard Music Awards winners are determined by year-end performance metrics on the Billboard charts, the music industry’s ultimate authority and data-driven measure of success. The eligibility dates for this year’s awards are aligned with Billboard’s Year-End Charts tracking period, which measures music consumption from the charts dated Nov. 19, 2022 through Oct. 21, 2023.
The Billboard Music Awards aired on Fox from 1990-2006, always in December. After a four-year hiatus, the show returned in 2011. It aired on ABC from 2011-17, and on NBC from 2018-22. Throughout this period, it aired in May, except for the pandemic-delayed 2020 show, which aired in October.
This year’s show will be in the thick of awards season. The Nov. 19 show will occur nine days after the Grammy nominations are announced, and just a few weeks before final-round Grammy voting begins on Dec. 14.
Finalists – the show does not use the word “nominees,” because the finalists and recipients are data-driven – and performers will be announced in the coming weeks. The 2023 Billboard Music Awards is produced by Dick Clark Productions. Lexus and Marriott Bonvoy are partners of this year’s show.

Raj Kapoor, who has served as a producer and executive producer of numerous Grammy Awards telecasts, has been named executive producer and showrunner of the 96th Oscars, which are set to air live on ABC on Sunday, March 10, 2024.
Katy Mullan has been tapped as executive producer, and Hamish Hamilton as director.
This will be Kapoor and Mullan’s first time executive producing and Hamilton’s fourth time directing the Oscars. Kapoor has worked on the show for the past seven years and most recently served as producer for the 95th Oscars.
Kapoor has received six Primetime Emmy nominations – four of them for outstanding variety special (live) for The Grammys in 2019, 2021 and 2022 and Oscars in 2023. His other two Emmy nods are for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded). He won in 2022 for Adele: One Night Only and is a current nominee for Norman Lear: 100 Years of Music & Laughter. (The long-delayed 2023 awards will be presented on Jan. 15, 2024.)
“As a Canadian boy of South Asian descent and a girl from London who grew up watching the Oscars, dreaming of being part of it, this is a ‘pinch me’ moment!” Kapoor and Mullan said in a joint statement. “This has been an exceptional year for the movies, and it’s an absolute privilege to be leading the team celebrating the global film industry and the astounding talents that bring these cinematic stories to life. We’re dedicated to making it a remarkable celebration for all.”
“Raj and Hamish have been incredible Oscars collaborators, and we are delighted to welcome them and Katy to lead the 96th Oscars,” Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy president Janet Yang said in a statement. “Their deep love of cinema, fresh vision, and tremendous live television expertise is perfect for our reinvigorated show.”
Several people from the creative team behind the 95th Oscars are returning to work on the 96th Oscars, including creative director Kenny Gravillis, production designers Misty Buckley and Alana Billingsley, red carpet show executive producer David Chamberlin, and red carpet creative consultants Lisa Love and Raúl Àvila.
In addition to his Emmy-nominated work, Kapoor’s credits include the ACM Awards, the Latin Grammys, The Emmy Awards, Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration and The Disney Family Singalong.
Mullan is an executive producer, showrunner and partner in the global live event production company Done + Dusted. Her work in live entertainment ranges from producing the London Olympics opening and closing ceremonies to The Little Mermaid Live! Her recent credits include Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration, Step Into…The Movies and the Disney Family Singalong franchise.
Hamilton made his Oscars debut directing the 82nd Academy Awards telecast in 2010 and subsequently directed the 86th and 87th Oscars. He has received 11 Primetime Emmy nominations, for directing four Super Bowl half-time shows, two Oscar telecasts, two Grammy telecasts, Lizzo: Live in Concert and the opening ceremonies of the 2012 London Olympics.
Hamilton, who has directed 14 Super Bowl halftime shows, was Emmy-nominated for the ones starring Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez & Shakira and Rihanna as well as the all-star hip-hop celebration starring Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and 50 Cent. He received two Emmy nods for the one starring Rihanna, one as a producer and one as a director. That and Lizzo: Live in Concert are pending, so Hamilton has three chances to win his first Primetime Emmy in January.
Hamilton, a partner in the global live event production company Done + Dusted, has received a Peabody Award and a BAFTA Award. He was also a 2002 Grammy nominee for Robbie Williams – Live at the Albert, a contender for best long-form music video.
The 96th Oscars will be held on Sunday, March 10, 2024, at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood and will be televised live on ABC and in more than 200 territories worldwide.
The Grammys have not yet announced their production team. The 66th Annual Grammy Awards will be held on Feb. 4, 2024.
