Alec John Such (born November 14, 1952) is an American musician, and the former bassist for the band Bon Jovi. He left the band in 1994, and has not been officially replaced. As well as playing bass guitar, Such sang backing vocals and occasionally took the lead for part of 'Blood on Blood' at live shows. He is of Hungarian descent (his surname is Szűcs in Hungarian).[1]
Hugh McDonald took over Such's position as bassist, having already played on several albums from Bon Jovi's debut onwards. However, he is not an "official" member of the band, since the members agreed not to officially replace Alec and therefore does not appear on album artwork or publicity shots.
After leaving Bon Jovi, Such has managed a couple of local New Jersey bands, and also owns a motorcycle shop in New York City. Alec managed the Chicago-based rock band 7th Heaven in 1998 along with James Young of the band Styx.
Alec cameoed with Bon Jovi live on stage in 2001 during "Wanted Dead Or Alive" at the Tweeter Center in Camden, New Jersey and Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
