Album
Forever
Forever is the sixteenth studio album by Bon Jovi, released on 7 June 2024 through Island Records. It follows 2020 in a catalogue that stretches back to the band's self-titled debut in 1984, and it was trailed by the singles "Legendary" and "Living Proof". The record sits in the rock and pop rock camp that has defined the American band's career.
What sets it apart is the line-up. Producer John Shanks, a long-standing collaborator, plays rhythm guitar here as an official member, and Everett Bradley joins him on percussion and backing vocals. That makes Forever the first Bon Jovi album recorded and released as a seven-piece, so it's worth hearing for fans curious about how the larger band sounds in the studio.
