I'm ready and excited!"

Bon Jovi will release the "Legendary Edition" of its 16th studio album "Forever" on Friday, featuring tracks reimagined by some of today's top artists including Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, Carin Leon, Joe Elliott, Robbie Williams, Avril Lavigne and more.

My father introduced me to Bon Jovi's music, and now I'm sharing it with my kids. Three generations of fans in our family! This comeback means so much to us. ❤️

While I'm happy for his recovery, I hope the ticket prices are reasonable. International concerts have become so expensive that ordinary fans in countries like India can't afford them.
