“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," Jon Bon Jovi explains.
"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," he continues.
In celebration of the album's announcement, Bon Jovi will release "Red, White and Jersey" and the collaboration track with Bruce Springsteen, “Hollow Man”.
