Bon Jovi’s newest album “The Circle” is now available both online and in stores. In 2008 when Jon Bon Jovi and guitarist Richie Sambora met to discuss plans about a greatest hits album, the project progressively turned into a ton of new material. “We went to the record company and said, ‘Well, we’ve got good news and bad news,’” said Sambora. “‘The bad news is you’re not getting a greatest hits. The good news is you’re going to have a great studio album.’”To further promote ”The Circle” members Jovi, Sambora, David Bryan, Tico Torres and Hugh McDonald will be touring all over the world starting in February. They are scheduled to play at numerous U.S. venues for the majority of 2010 (including a July 24th gig at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA) before taking off for a heavy set of shows overseas. Don’t miss one of the greatest bands of all time! Purchase your tickets right here with us at Ace when Bon Jovi comes to your area!
