Live Album Due From Bon Jovi

After more than fifteen years of recording and touring Bon Jovi are putting together a live album. The band's first live recording is untitled, but tentatively scheduled for a May 22nd release, according to Island.

Meanwhile the Crush tour continues as Bon Jovi make a stop in Melbourne, Australia on March 24th, their first stop in Australia in six years. The proceeds from that show will go towards the State Emergency Services assisting victims of flood, fire and drought that plague the rural areas of Australia.

After five dates in Japan the group return home for a North American spring/summer tour kicking off on April 18th in Phoenix. The tour runs through the end of July wrapping up at the boys' home state of New Jersey on July 28th for the second of two shows at Giants Stadium.
