I am lucky enough to be able to hold a light out to the audience each night and stand in their reflection for a tremendous collective experience – I get to stand in the WE of our concerts. And I’ve spoken extensively on my gratitude but I will say it again, I’m deeply grateful that the fans and the brotherhood of this band have been patient and allowed me the time needed to get healthy and prepare for touring. I’m ready and excited!”

Praise for the original FOREVER album includes:
“a triumph” The Times
“masterful vocal performance and some of Jon’s most affecting lyrics.” The Sun
“Jersey Boys have still got the swagger” Daily Mirror
“amid the heartbreak, did we need to hear the veteran new Jerseyites cranking out yet more mane-shaking soft metal? The answer is "yes" with bells on.” i Paper
“Rock songs, power ballads, it's a big-sounding record designed to be played in big rooms.” Classic Rock
“An instant Best Of, showcasing their styles, strap in for feelgood singalong rock, tough ballads… here's why the gents have lasted the distance” Daily Star
Speaking to the album process Jon Bon Jovi said: “This album is more than just a collection of collaborations, it is an album borne out of necessity. My vocal cord surgery and subsequent rehab was a well-documented journey that played out while releasing Forever in June 2024. I was singing well enough in the studio for the recording, but the vocal demands and rigors of touring were still out of reach for me. Without the ability to tour or promote an album we were all very proud of, I decided to call on some friends to help me in my time of need. All are great singers, artists, and also just great people. The result is an album with a new viewpoint and new spirit -- a collaboration album that proves we all get by in this world with a little help from our friends. I feel tremendous joy and gratitude releasing this album and I think it shows in the music. I can say with certainty that there is always something bigger than ME, and that’s WE.”
