BON JOVI is set to release “Forever (Legendary Edition)”, an expanded version of last year’s “Forever” album, on October 24 via Island Records. The new edition will feature guest vocal appearances from Bruce Springsteen, Jelly Roll, James Bay, Robbie Williams, Jason Isbell, Ryan Tedder, The War And Treaty, DEF LEPPARD’s Joe Elliott, Lainey Wilson, Avril Lavigne, Marcus King, and more. It will also introduce a brand-new opening track, “Red, White & Jersey,” arriving on Friday, August 29, alongside an updated version of “Hollow Man” featuring Springsteen.
“This album is more than just a collection of collaborations, it is an album borne out of necessity,” BON JOVI frontman Jon Bon Jovi says in a statement. “My vocal cord rehab was a well-documented journey that played out while releasing ‘Forever’ in 2024. I was singing well in the studio for recording, but the vocal demands and rigors of touring were still slightly out of reach for me. Without an ability to tour at that time, I continued working in the studio and called on some friends, great singers, artists, musicians and also just great people”.
He continues: “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.”
