Harry Styles has earned the highest praise from fellow music icon Jon Bon Jovi, who described him as the ‘biggest star’ at the moment.

The As It Was singer has had an incredible few years, carving out a successful solo career following One Direction’s hiatus.

As well as a record-breaking stint at the top of the charts with As It Was, the 29-year-old recently took home the album of the year trophy at this year’s Grammys, beating out stiff competition from Beyonce, Adele and Bad Bunny.

If that wasn’t enough, Bon Jovi frontman John Bongiovi couldn’t sing his praises enough during an appearance on the Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi podcast.

When asked about the musicians who really ‘light him up today’, the 61-year-old didn’t miss a beat before complimenting Harry.

‘Harry Styles is the biggest star,’ he replied. ‘The kid is a mega star. Full package. His ability to be a deeper thinker than a pop boy singer. His sexuality, which is the whole androgyny thing.

‘His ability to cross over into film, which is never easy for anyone who’s a singer – it’s not going to be an easy road for him but he’s got a shot.’

‘I love what he’s doing musically, he’s challenging himself and then he comes up with a pop song that has a deeper meaning.

‘As It Was, it is not going to be the same as it was folks, I love that because he gave you a slap upside the head and said, “I’m here with you but doing it on my terms”.

‘All of those things, to me, make him one-of-one.’

Jon currently has a lot to celebrate as his son, Jake Bongiovi made headlines last week – when he appeared to pop the question to Millie Bobby Brown.

The Stranger Things actress, 19, sent us all into a spin after she shared a snap on Instagram, seemingly confirming their engagement.

Alongside a black-and-white snap as she cozied up to her beau, 20, while flaunting a whopper of a diamond ring, she penned: ‘I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all [sic].’

The couple have been dating for around two years, having first sparked romance rumors in June, 2021.

They made things Instagram official in November of that year, looking very loved-up on a trip on the London Eye.

Although they haven’t explicitly stated that they will be walking down the aisle, that ring has remained firmly on Millie’s finger in more recent photos.

We wonder if Harry could make the guest list for their big day…?
