Bon Jovi Releases New Song “Red, White and Jersey” & New Version of “Hollow Man” with Bruce Springsteen
American rock band Bon Jovi, consisting of Jon Bon Jovi (vocals/rhythm guitar), David Bryan (keyboards), Tico Torres (drums), Hugh McDonald (bass), Phil X (guitar), Everett Bradley (percussion) and John Shanks (rhythm guitar), has announced a reimagined version of their sixteenth studio album “Forever” entitled “Forever (Legendary Edition)” will be released on October 24, 2025.
Back in 2024, after the release of the album, the band frontman Jon Bon Jovi underwent intensive vocal cord surgery and was unable to tour or promote the record. Instead of touring, the band made the collaborative album “Forever (Legendary Edition)”.
The album comprises 14 tracks, featuring collaborations with James Bay, Robbie Williams, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, Ryan Tedder, Billy Falcon, The War & Treaty, Joe Elliott, Lainey Wilson, Avril Lavigne, Marcus King, Bruce Springsteen, and Carin León.
From the album, the band released a new song “Red, White and Jersey” and a new version of “Hollow Man” with American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen on August 29, 2025.
“Red, White & Jersey” is the first track of the album. It was written by Ashley Glenn Gorley, Casey Brown, John Shanks, and Jon Bon Jovi. Produced by John Shanks, and Jon Bon Jovi.
The accompanying music video was directed by Gil Green.- Jon Bon Jovi said of the album, “This album is more than just a collection of collaborations; it is an album borne out of necessity. My vocal cord surgery and subsequent rehab was a well-documented journey that played out while releasing Forever in June 2024. I was singing well enough in the studio for the recording, but the vocal demands and rigours of touring were still out of reach for me.”
He continued, “Without the ability to tour or promote an album we were all very proud of, I decided to call on some friends to help me in my time of need. All are great singers, artists, and also just great people. The result is an album with a new viewpoint and new spirit - a collaboration album that proves we all get by in this world with a little help from our friends.” -
He added, “I feel tremendous joy and gratitude releasing this album, and I think it shows in the music. I can say with certainty that there is always something bigger than me, and that's we.” - source : Apple Music
