Bon Jovi is set to release "Forever (Legendary Edition)" on October 24, 2025, a reimagined version of their 2024 album "Forever." This special edition features 14 tracks, including collaborations with a diverse lineup of artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Robbie Williams, Avril Lavigne, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, and Joe Elliott, offering a fresh perspective on the band's latest work.
The genesis of this project stems from Jon Bon Jovi's recovery following vocal cord surgery. This period of introspection and healing allowed for a deep dive into studio work and creative partnerships, ultimately shaping an album that radiates renewed energy and a collaborative spirit. Jon Bon Jovi explained that the necessity for this reimagined album arose from his vocal cord surgery and subsequent rehabilitation, which made touring and promoting the original album challenging. He expressed immense joy and gratitude for the outcome, emphasizing the power of friendship and collaboration.
Leading the release are the singles "Red, White & Jersey" and "Hollow Man," a powerful duet with fellow New Jersey icon Bruce Springsteen, both released on August 29, 2025. The collaboration with Springsteen marks a significant moment, blending two legendary voices and artistic legacies.
While specific tour dates and locations for a 2025 tour supporting "Forever (Legendary Edition)" are yet to be revealed, the announcement signals a vibrant return to the stage for Bon Jovi, promising fans an unforgettable experience. This reimagined album not only showcases Bon Jovi's enduring musicality but also highlights the strength found in shared creative endeavors, serving as a testament to resilience and the unifying power of music.
