Jon's team hits road this fall on concert trek
[published on Tue, May 3, 2005]
Jon Bon Jovi reports that he and his band will be hitting the road this November
for a concert trek in support of the yet-untitled album for which they
anticipate a September release.
"It's a rather contemporary-sounding record but it's a big rock record," reveals
the rock icon. "There are no real ballads on it."
Is there any end in sight for the guys of Bon Jovi? "It's been 20 years; we're
not going anywhere at this point. It's about as established as it can get," says
Jon. "We keep reinventing ourselves, and I think that's why we remain relevant
and on the radio. It's not a nostalgia act. People are coming to hear the new
stuff, so it's good to continue on that level."
It's also a big year for Bon Jovi, the actor. He has the thriller "Cry Wolf" due
in August, and the comedy "The Trouble with Frank" set for release later in the
year. "It's good to utilize the acting chops once in a while because it's been a
while," he says with a laugh.
First off, he and fellow arena football team owner John Elway show up as
themselves on the May 23 season finale of NBC's "Las Vegas."
We caught up with the pair on set while they talked sports in between takes with
"Las Vegas" regular Molly Sims and guest star Dean Cain. An excited Josh Duhamel
soon joined in, asking the rock legend to sign his new electric guitar.
As for why Bon Jovi bought the Philadelphia Soul football team? "I love
football. I would get depressed at the end of football season," he says.
