Details of Bon Jovi’s Recent Performance
On Friday, June 7, Jon Bon Jovi surprised fans with a five-song set in Nashville to commemorate the opening of his rooftop bar and restaurant, JBJ’s. This performance also coincided with the release of Bon Jovi’s sixteenth album, ‘Forever.’
This appearance was particularly significant as Jon Bon Jovi is still recovering from a vocal surgery he underwent in 2022. Despite the ongoing recovery process, he managed to deliver a powerful performance at the Nashville venue. His energy was palpable as he danced across the small stage, urging the audience to sing along with him. They kicked off the set with ‘Blood on Blood,’ a track that hadn’t been performed live since 2019. Addressing the crowd, Jon acknowledged his time away from the stage:
“It’s been a couple of years since I’ve been up on a stage with some people in the house. Too long, too long. Yeah, it feels good. I hope it sounds good because it feels good.”
Jon also took a moment to reflect on the importance of Nashville to the band, mentioning the time they spent there writing and recording music. The event was a star-studded affair, with other celebrities like Jelly Roll and Big Kenny in attendance. Bon Jovi and his band performed some of their biggest hits, including ‘You Give Love a Bad Name,’ and their latest single, ‘Legendary,’ from the new album ‘Forever.’
