Bon Jovi Drummer Tico Torres Denies Retirement Rumors, Confirms New Music

Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres has firmly denied rumors that he or the band are retiring, emphasizing in multiple social media videos that musicians don't retire, especially him. Torres stated that he and the band members, including Jon Bon Jovi, are still actively making music and are in their best form yet. These rumors seem to have stemmed from comments by keyboardist David Bryan and Jon Bon Jovi's well-publicized vocal challenges, which have affected their touring schedule. Jon Bon Jovi has acknowledged his vocal issues and the possibility of stepping back from touring if he can't perform at his best, but the band recently recorded a new album and is not ruling out future performances. Despite the challenges, Bon Jovi released their latest album, "Forever," in 2024, and have made some live appearances, indicating ongoing activity. Fans are encouraged not to believe the retirement rumors, as the band remains creatively active and committed to their music.
