Bryan nearly broke his finger in a home fire involving a circular saw in the late 1990s, well before Bon Jovi's appearance to record Crush. Bryan recovered use of his finger and returned to playing the keyboard after a year of recovery. Bryan was suffering from a South American parasite during a tour with the band in 1991 before he helped Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora in his solo album Stranger in This Town and record a soundtrack in the horror film Netherworld. Bryan was hospitalized. "It ate out my stomach lining, my intestines, and attacked my nerve endings," he characterized his illness. It was in my bloodstream; I had been poisoned. I was 145 pounds and I was really sick in the hospital for two weeks, and then bedridden at home for a month."
Bryan confirmed he had tested positive for COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic on March 21, 2020. Bryan recovered from COVID-19 on April 19, 2020, a month after the diagnosis.

Bryan has performed keyboards and sung on all of Bon Jovi's albums, as well as some of Jon Bon Jovi's solo albums Richie Sambora's.

Bryan and Joe DiPietro produced the music for the musical Memphis, for which the duo received the Tony Award for Best Original Score. The musical made its off-Broadway debut in 2002. Memphis debuted at the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego in 2008. The show was also on display in Seattle, Washington, in January 2009, before it was moved to Broadway later this year. Memphis, which appeared on Broadway from October 18, 2009 to August 5, 2012, was nominated for 8 Tony awards for the 2010 season, including Best Musical and Best Original Score.
Bryan also co-wrote the film The Toxic Avenger, again collaborating with Joe DiPietro. On April 6, 2009, the musical performed at New World Stages for the first time off-Broadway.
Chasing the Song, DiPietro's musical, chronicles American songwriters from 1962 to 1964, who lived in the Brill Building. "It's a fictional story about factual America," Bryan describes it. Christopher Ashley and choreographer Sergio Trujillo are both involved. "A fall or early winter workshop of the musical is currently being planned," Playbill says. The aim is to Broadway.'
Following a tryout performance at the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego, CA, last year, the musical Diana, about Princess Diana, began previews on Broadway on March 2, 2020 with an anticipated opening date of March 31, 2020. The Broadway premiere was postponed until December 16, 2021, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic closing of all Broadway theaters. The musical was then filmed at the Longacre Theater in the summer of 2021, with the film being released on Netflix on October 1, 2021.
