Hugh McDonald, although not an 'official' member of Bon Jovi, has been touring with Jon and Bon Jovi ever since Alec's departure. He has also played the bass on all Bon Jovi albums except 7800 Ferenheit.
Hugh is originally from Philadelphia, PA, lived in Cambridge (Boston area) Massachussets for 6 years and then moved to NY in 1980. He started working at Power Station, a studio owned by Tony Bongiovi, Jon Bon Jovis cousin. There he was asked to play the bass on one of Jons demos: She dont know me. Shortly after that he recorded Runaway, as part of the All Star Review studio band. He also played with Tico in one of his bands before Bon Jovi.
Up until joining the group he had been mainly a studio musician.
