Bon Jovi Releases Collaborative Forever (Legendary Edition) Featuring Bruce Springsteen, Avril Lavigne

Bon Jovi is set to release Forever (Legendary Edition) on October 24, a revamped version of their 2024 album Forever that features collaborations with notable artists including Bruce Springsteen, Joe Elliott, Robbie Williams, Avril Lavigne, and Jelly Roll. The project was inspired by Jon Bon Jovi's vocal cord rehabilitation, which limited his touring ability, leading him to collaborate with friends and fellow musicians in the studio instead. The album includes a new opening track, "Red, White & Jersey," and the single "Hollow Man" featuring Springsteen, which will be released ahead of the album. Jon Bon Jovi expressed gratitude and joy over the album, emphasizing its spirit of collaboration and the support from other artists during his recovery. Despite rumors of retirement and band changes, drummer Tico Torres clarified that the band is not retiring and remains active, with Bon Jovi performing occasional shows since 2022. Jon Bon Jovi also shared his goal of returning to full touring once his voice fully recovers, expressing confidence in his medical team.
