Bon Jovi Goes Big: Forever (Legendary Edition) Brings Star Power to a Rock Comeback

Bon Jovi is rewriting the rulebook on musical comebacks with the announcement of Forever (Legendary Edition), a reimagined version of their 2024 album Forever, arriving October 24, 2025. Packed with superstar collaborations and a brand-new anthem, this project is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious releases of the band’s career.

From Recovery to Reinvention

After undergoing vocal cord surgery in 2022, Jon Bon Jovi’s future on stage was uncertain. But instead of stepping back, he leaned on a community of friends and fellow musicians to re-energize his music. “There is always something bigger than me and that’s we,” Jon explained, highlighting how collaboration became the heart of this album.

 

A Star-Studded Guest List

The tracklist reads like a who’s who of rock, pop, and country music:

  • Bruce Springsteen joins Jon on Hollow Man, a duet that blends two Jersey icons.

 

  • Avril Lavigne brings punk-pop fire to Living in Paradise.

 

  • Jelly Roll powers up Living Proof.

 

  • Robbie Williams adds his signature flair to We Made It Look Easy.

 

  • Lainey Wilson, Joe Elliott (Def Leppard), Marcus King, Jason Isbell, Ryan Tedder, and more contribute to the project, making this a truly cross-genre celebration.

 

Adding to the excitement, Latin star Carín León teams up for a bilingual version of We Made It Look Easy / Hicimos Que Pareciera Fácil.

New Music for a New Era

Fans are already buzzing about “Red, White and Jersey”, the brand-new single that pays homage to Bon Jovi’s roots. Released with a high-energy music video, it’s a heartfelt anthem that doubles as a love letter to New Jersey. Meanwhile, Hollow Man featuring Springsteen has become an early standout, combining grit, heart, and harmonica-laced nostalgia.

Formats and Exclusives

Forever (Legendary Edition) will be available across multiple formats:

CD and standard black vinyl for collectors.

A vibrant Jersey Blue 2-LP exclusive.

A bonus-track vinyl edition featuring Fight Somebody, available only through Bon Jovi’s official store.

This isn’t just a re-release, it’s a statement. Jon Bon Jovi has transformed what could have been a setback into an artistic reinvention. By inviting diverse voices to reimagine his songs, he’s turned Forever into a testament of resilience, friendship, and the timeless power of collaboration.

 

And with whispers of more live shows on the horizon, it’s safe to say that Forever (Legendary Edition) isn’t just an album it’s the dawn of Bon Jovi’s next great chapter.
