The Bergen Record is reporting that it is Bon Jovi and not the closer Bruce Springsteen who will open the new New York Jets and Giants stadium next spring.

It is quite fitting that Jon Bon Jovi, Springsteen and the Jersey Boys all be part of the Meadowlands’ history.

On October 9, Bruce Springsteen was at Giants Stadium for the final concert performance at the stadium, which will be demolished following this year’s NFL season.

The Boss last night finished a four night series at the Spectrum in South Philadelphia, which is also set to be demolished.

The new $1.6 billion facility in North Jersey is currently under construction and it is expected that it will be completed in the spring ahead of schedule.

The Bergen Record said the sources had informed the newspaper that the Bon Jovi concert’s official announcement would be tomorrow.

The Bon Jovi band has been getting lots of publicity recently.

On Monday Jon Bon Jovi lead singer, dedicated a new playground in Camden.

On Saturday When We Were Beautiful, the first ever documentary of the band, will make its debut on Showtime at 9 p.m.

On November 10, Bon Jovi will release The Circle, their latest album.

Jon Bon Jovi owned the AFL team the Philadelphia Soul. In 2008 the team won the 2008 Arena Football League championship before it suspended operations last year.

It is doubtful there will be a 2010 season. Last month a new arena league with 16 teams was announced but there was no entry from Philadelphia.

The new stadium is currently named Meadowlands Stadium. A naming right deal could possibly be struck to change that.

The X Factor continues to bring top acts to their line up to perform on the show. Next month JLS and Bon Jovi will hit the stage in order to promote their latest singles.

On Sunday November 1 both groups will be playing live as both the public as well as judges will decide which of the X Factor acts are going to make it through the sing-off elimination.

Bon Jovi, multi Grammy award winners, will be performing their hit song “We Weren’t Born to Follow,” before the November 2 launch of The Circle, the band’s new album.

Last month Jon Bon Jovi revealed he is a Susan Boyle fan and would like to sing a duet together with her.

Bon Jovi hasn’t kept his affection for Boyle a secret after she awed the entire world through her performances on the show Britain’s Got Talent. However, it doesn’t seem very likely that the two will connect on the show the X Factor.

Worldwide the band Bon Jovi has sold over 120 million albums as well as performed in over 2,600 concerts in more than 50 countries in front of over 34 million fans.

JLS, meanwhile, will be performing their song, “Everybody in Love,” before the November 2 release of their much anticipated debut album entitled JLS.

Aston Merrygold, JLS band member, confessed that he does have a fancy for Cheryl Cole, X Factor judge. Lat year, the boy band were the runners-up on The X Factor, with Louis Walsh as their mentor.

Bon Jovi is going to be the first artist to appear over NBC Universal’s many brands in their unique partnership they are calling an Artist in Residence. According to the exclusive agreement, the performances, appearances, and music of Bon Jovi will be widely heard and seen across many of NBC Universal’s platforms and brands. The announcement came from Jeff Gaspin, who is the chairman for Universal Television Entertainment at NBC.

The project for Artists in Residence is coinciding with the launch on November 10th of The Circle, the new studio album from Bon Jovi.

The project will offer NBCU a unique opportunity for working with the band as well as Jon Bon Jovi, through guest starring roles, musical guest appearances, and interviews to help bring compelling and exclusive content across the many brands of NBC Universal, including cable information and news platforms, broadcast network, cable network and their other digital assets. It will also provide Bon Jovi with a unique opportunity for promoting their album The Circle to a more diverse and broader audience.

Gaspin said, assembling such a unique mix of different appearances across the NBC Universal brands would provide Bon Jovi with the opportunity for reaching a wider audience in many different compelling ways and simultaneously provide exclusive and interesting content to NBCU’s properties.

As part of their participation in the program Artists in Residence, the band has confirmed a number of appearances on different NBCU platforms, including the “Bon Jovi Month” special on NBC’s Today show during the month of November where they will be appearing live on the show during each of the four Wednesdays of November, capping the month off with a concert performance Wednesday November 25th on the plaza.

Bon Jovi will also appear on several of NBC’s Entertainment programs and will be a featured guest on the Bravo show “Inside the Actors’ Studio.” On “USA Character Showcase” the philanthropic and artistic work of Jon Bon Jovi will be highlight in an online and on the air campaign. In addition he will appear as a featured panelist on the USA Network “Characters United National Town Hall,” sponsored by Tom Brokaw. The discussion on how to overcome social injustices will take place Wednesday December 2 in Washington DC. There will also be a feature of Jon with Brian Williams on NBC Nightly News, and “The More You Know,” their public service campaign, with spots airing on the broadcast networks and NBCU cable. The music of the band will be integrated quite heavily through the NCB cable and network programming.

“We Weren’t Born To Follow” the lead single from Bon Jovi’s new album The Circle was co-produced and written by Richie Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi and the production was done by John Shanks. Shanks worked as well on Bon Jovi’s last two albums, Lost Highway (2007), debuting at #1 on Soundscan’s charts, and Have A Nice Day (2005), featuring “Who Says You Can’t Go Home,” their Grammy award winning single.

Their “Lost Highway World Tour” that began in New Jersey for ten nights and closed out with a free historic concert in Central Park in New York City as well as two sold out Madison Square Garden concerts was, according to Billboard, the number one selling tour in all the world in 2008.

For over two decades Bon Jovi has been setting the standard for being one of the world’s most successful rock bands. Globally, Bon Jovi has sold over 120 million albums as well as performed in over 2,600 concerts in more than 50 different countries in front of over 34 million fans.

A world that doesn’t have at least one Bon Jovi documentary just doesn’t seem complete. That will be fixed by “When We Were Beautiful.” Showtime has acquired the documentary of Bon Jovi which will premiere on October 24. Phil Griffin, photographer and filmmaker, directed the documentary which was filmed behind the scenes on the 2008 Lost Highway World Tour for the band that ended with a big Central Park concert in New York City.

Phil Griffin said that throughout his process of working with the band Bon Jovi that he was amazed at the candor and humility of the band and Jon.

The end result isn’t a neat bundle of musical interludes and staged interviews. Instead it’s a series of sometimes difficult and open conversations that are explored against a musical backdrop which spans twenty five years.

The film is about Jon’s drive, Richie’s complexity, Dave’s brutal honest and Tico’s peace. The band members’ willingness to share their story provides us with a very human story that shows the band will stand the tests of time.

Lots of people gave up on the guys from Jersey around the time that “I’ll Be There for You,” got played for about the billionth time. Credit needs to be given to Jon Bon Jovi and Company who have stayed relevant and rolled with the punches, remaining successful and popular for all of these years.

The band’s first album was released in 1984 after all!

Bon Jovi has taken their fair share of knocks for following the arena rock clichéd template. But it’s okay sometimes. That is all we want at times.

“The Circle,” the band’s new studio album, has a release date of November 10th. In addition, Harper Collins is releasing a companion book entitled “When We Were Beautiful” on October 27th.

The promoters AEG Live are playing down speculation that the rock band Bon Jovi are returning to London’s O2 arena for a multiple date residency.

Rumors are being spread over the internet about a 20 night residency, but AEG hasn’t had much to say officially about the matter. An AEG spokesman said he didn’t have any word regarding the rumored deal.

However, there are other sources that do suggest that there might just be some truth to the story. After all Bon Jovi was the band who two years ago opened at the record setting arena. The band also does have a history of making booking residencies in the US.

A band spokesman said that Bon Jovi was currently working on The Circle, their new album, which will be released later this year. He added that they would be announcing the details for a tour of North America but said he didn’t know of any proposed London residency.
