Bon Jovi, the GRAMMY Award®-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, will release Forever (Legendary Edition) on October 24 via Island Records. The 14-track project reimagines songs from their 2024 album, Forever, featuring some of music’s biggest names, including Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, Avril Lavigne, Joe Elliott, Robbie Williams, Marcus King, Carin León, Ryan Tedder, James Bay, and more.
Alongside the announcement, the band released their new single, “Red, White and Jersey,” and unveiled the collaboration track, “Hollow Man,” featuring Bruce Springsteen, both of which are available now.
Frontman Jon Bon Jovi described the project as a personal and collective triumph, born during his recovery from vocal cord surgery. Unable to tour Forever, he enlisted friends and fellow artists to breathe new life into the record:
“This album 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.”
The original Forever drew wide acclaim, praised by outlets like Associated Press, Rolling Stone, USA Today, and Now Spinning Magazine for its mix of vintage Bon Jovi energy, heartfelt ballads, and uplifting spirit.
