Four decades after they burst onto the rock scene, Bon Jovi continues to prove that their legacy is far from over. In celebration of their 40th anniversary, the legendary band has released a brand-new album titled Forever, a high-energy collection that echoes the band’s signature sound while introducing fresh emotional depth. It’s a milestone moment that underscores not just their staying power—but their evolution.
Forever marks the band’s 16th studio release and is led by the powerful single “Legendary.” The album is available in a range of formats tailored for collectors and superfans alike—color vinyl, CD, cassette, and even signed limited editions. The Ocean Waves color vinyl stands out as a fan favorite, offering a vibrant aesthetic and an exclusive instant photo of Jon Bon Jovi, adding a personal touch to the musical experience.
Jon Bon Jovi describes the new project as “a return to joy,” emphasizing the uplifting energy that pulses through the entire record. “From the writing through the recording process, this is turn up the volume, feel-good Bon Jovi,” he said. For longtime followers who have journeyed through the band’s many eras—from hair metal roots to adult rock staples—Forever feels like a heartfelt thank-you wrapped in stadium-sized sound.
Complementing the album is a deeply personal four-part docuseries on Hulu titled Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story. Premiering April 26, the series offers an unprecedented look at the band’s history. Directed by Gotham Chopra and featuring full cooperation from current and former band members, it delivers a raw and revealing portrait of Bon Jovi’s path to becoming one of the world’s biggest rock bands. It’s both a retrospective and an intimate reintroduction for fans old and new.
Adding even more to the celebratory spirit, Jon Bon Jovi was recently honored as the 2024 MusiCares Person of the Year. The recognition came with a star-studded tribute concert held during Grammy week, featuring performances by Bruce Springsteen, Shania Twain, Melissa Etheridge, Jason Isbell, Jelly Roll, Pat Monahan of Train, and many more. The event showcased not just Jon’s musical influence, but also his philanthropic impact—a cornerstone of his enduring public image.
Since forming in 1983, Bon Jovi has sold over 130 million albums and played thousands of shows across more than 50 countries, entertaining over 35 million fans worldwide. Their tour earnings have topped a billion dollars in the last ten years alone. As they celebrate 40 years of success, Forever and the Hulu docuseries together form a powerful dual tribute—honoring the past, celebrating the present, and proving that Bon Jovi is still very much a part of rock’s future.
