Bon Jovi celebrate 40 years with new album Forever, and it's proof there’s plenty left in the tank and they’ll be with us for a long time to come.
As Bon Jovi hits their 40th anniversary, the Grammy Award-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band continues to find the fountain of youth with Forever. This 16th studio album, led by the towering single “Legendary,” is available in a variety of formats, including color vinyl, CD, cassette, and limited edition signed copies. Among the collectibles, the Ocean Waves color vinyl stands out, featuring a unique instant photo of Jon Bon Jovi himself.
Reflecting on the new album, Jon shares, “This record is a return to joy. From the writing through the recording process, this is turn up the volume, feel-good Bon Jovi.” This is music to the ears of fans old and new, as they’ve stuck by the band through all the ups and downs and changing trends over decades, and they deserve to be rewarded with a record like Forever.
In addition to the new album, the band get their due in HULU’s four-part docu-series Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story, which premiered on April 26th. The series offers an unprecedented look into the band’s history, made with full cooperation from all past and present members. Directed by Gotham Chopra, it’s a comprehensive and intimate portrayal of the band’s rise to become rock royalty.
Meanwhile, Jon, recently honored as the 2024 MusiCares Person Of The Year, was celebrated with a star-studded tribute concert at the L.A. Convention Center. The event, coinciding with the 66th annual Grammy Awards, featured performances by Bruce Springsteen, Shania Twain, Melissa Etheridge, Sammy Hagar, Jason Isbell, Jelly Roll, and Pat Monahan of Train, among others. When names like that come out to support you, it truly highlights the influence and philanthropic spirit an artist has had on not just the music industry, but the world itself.

As they mark their monumental milestone of 40 years or rock and roll, the new album and docu-series are a dual celebration of their storied career.
