The band announced their UK and Ireland tour along with a New York residency last week.
The band have since responded to the specualtion that this tour will be their final tour. This tour is also the biggest live show that they have done since Jon Bon Jovi had surgery on his vocal chords in 2022.
Jon Bon Jovi confirmed that he hoped this tour would not be their last while speaking on the How to Fail with Elizabeth Day podcast. “I’ve always been a pretty resilient guy, and I’ve always had a will. My wife had said…‘he would will it into existence’. I would just go and just plough through that field until I got to the other side. When I couldn’t [tour], because I physically couldn’t, that was disheartening, but I didn’t want to not do it. I’m not doing this for the applause, I’m not doing it for the money, I’m not doing it for the fame," he said.
"I’ve had enough of all of it. But I would like to feel that joy and the resonance, even if it were only one last time. I don’t think this is anywhere near a farewell tour or anything like that, but if it were, you could trust that these few shows that I’ve announced are going to be joy filled because this gratitude, humility, opportunity to go out there and do it again is all heartfelt," he continued.
Talking about the tour announcement, Jon Bon Jovi said "There is a lot of joy in this announcement – joy that we can share these nights together with our amazing fans and joy that the band can be together."
Jon Bon Jovi recently visited Dublin's Croke Park where he said that he is "still aspiring to be Irish."
