Jon Bon Jovi in Conversation at Foyles

Jon Bon Jovi appeared at Foyles’ flagship London store on Saturday, 25 October, for an intimate, sold-out event marking the worldwide publication of Bon Jovi: Forever, the band’s official new book.

In conversation with Mark Jeeves of Planet Rock, Jon discussed the two-year journey of creating Forever – from writing the book’s manuscript to curating a remarkable collection of photography and historic memorabilia. The result is a career-spanning chronicle capturing four decades of music, friendship and perseverance.

"There was a period in time over the last ten years when I would walk hunched over like this, until I realised that all these folks were saying, 'Put your arms down, we got you.' Which sort of makes me emotional, because they got your back." – Jon Bon Jovi

Speaking to an audience of 200 readers, Jon reflected on key moments in his life and the band’s history, sharing stories of the people, places and performances that have defined Bon Jovi’s 40-year journey.  

"Looking back, I feel gratitude, humility, and joy. And the opportunity to write the next chapter is inviting and exciting. Because with it comes a wisdom that I know I've had, that I still have. The idea of having the belief that people have your back, that I don't have to carry this all by myself. And that history is still writing itself." – Jon Bon Jovi

The London appearance coincided with the release of Forever (Legendary Edition), Bon Jovi’s latest studio album, and the announcement of the Forever Tour – set to visit the USA and UK in 2026, with tickets on sale later this week.

The official signed limited edition of Bon Jovi: Forever has now sold out and is shipping to collectors worldwide. However, a few Artist Proof Deluxe Copies, each signed by Jon Bon Jovi, remain available for a limited time – offering fans and collectors one final opportunity to be part of this historic edition.
