Bon Jovi will release the new 14-track collaboration album Forever (Legendary Edition) on 24 October 2025 via Island Records. The album is a reimagined take on Forever, with some of the biggest names in music, and Jon Bon Jovi has said it was borne “out of necessity” following his vocal cord surgery.
Forever (Legendary Edition) features contributions from music luminaries such as Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, Carin Leon, Joe Elliott, Robbie Williams, Avril Lavigne and Marcus King.
“This album is more than just a collection of collaborations,” Jon Bon Jovi said, “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. I was singing well enough in the studio for the recording, but the vocal demands and rigours 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.”
With the album set for release on 24 October, to whet the appetite, the lead single Red, White and Jersey and the Bruce Springsteen Hollow Man collaboration will be released on Friday 29 August 2025. For more details, including pre-orders, visit bonjovi.lnk.to/artiststore.
