Bon Jovi will release the festive track ‘Christmas Isn’t Christmas’ on Friday (17.11.23).
An “early Christmas present” for their fans, the ‘It’s My Life’ rockers have announced.
They took to social media this week to announce: “We have an early Christmas present for you! Our new original holiday song ‘Christmas Isn’t Christmas’ is out this Friday”.
The Yuletide album was recorded at Ocean Way Recording Studios in Nashville.
The bandmates-Jon Bon Jovi, David Bryan, Hugh McDonald, Tico Torres, Phil Xenidis, John Shanks and Everett Bradley-celebrated the occasion at Nashville’s nearby Santa’s Pub.
It will be their first new music since their album ‘2020’ was released three years ago.
Meanwhile, Richie Sambora has claimed to be talking about re-forming Bon Jovi.
The ‘Masked Singer’ star confirmed he has discussed reuniting with the ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’ group for possible new music, but he’s not sure when they’ll be back for more live shows as frontman Jon Bon Jovi has been taking “a bit of a break” after being plagued by vocal problems.
Speaking to Absolute Radio, he revealed: “We’re talking about it. I don’t think there’s any reason not to at this point.”
He continued: “I made the decision when I started working here in London in the last six months, I got involved with Hipgnosis and Merck Mercuriadis and we started working together and I started writing with other artists and making my own records and now I’m saying to myself, ‘How am I going to ignite this? Let’s put on a potato head!'”
Richie, 64, said of his bandmate’s vocal problems: “Jon (Bon Jovi) was struggling a little bit with his voice, and he needed to take a little bit of a breather.”
He insisted he and Jovi, 61, are on good terms, adding: “You know what, there’s no hard feelings. I mean, we did something … there’s not a lot of bands that did what we did. I mean, obviously, bands like The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and U2 (have)”.
