Avril Lavigne, The War & Treaty and Marcus King are just a few more of the other names involved.
The new album comes as the group continue to deal with frontman Jon Bon Jovi’s vocal health struggles.
“This album is more than just a collection of collaborations, it is an album borne out of necessity,” the 63-year-old said in a statement shared alongside yesterday (August 27)’s news.
“My vocal cord surgery and subsequent rehab was a well-documented journey that played out while releasing Forever in in June 2024,” he continued.
“I was singing well enough in the studio for the recording, but the vocal demands and rigors of touring were still out of reach for me.
“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...
“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,” the ‘It’s My Life’ artist concluded.
Forever (Legendary Edition) will be released on October 24, but two new songs will be released tomorrow (Friday, August 29).
One will be the album’s first collab track, ‘Hollow Man’ with Bruce Springsteen, the second is a new original single: ‘Red, White and Jersey’.
