The New Jersey rock band, known for hits like 'Livin' On A Prayer' and 'You Give Love A Bad Name', will perform on Friday, September 4, Sunday, September 6, and Wednesday, September 9, as part of their Forever world tour. English singer-songwriter James Bay will serve as the support act for the UK leg.
Bon Jovi's Journey to Wembley
Formed in Sayreville, New Jersey, in 1983, Bon Jovi originally consisted of singer Jon Bon Jovi, keyboardist David Bryan, guitarist Richie Sambora, drummer Tico Torres, and bass player Alec John Such. The band, initially called 'Johnny Electric', quickly gained attention as an opening act for rock bands. They signed with Mercury Records in 1984, and after a friend suggested changing their name to Bon Jovi, they released their first hit 'Runaway', which reached the US Billboard Top 40.
Their second album, 'Slippery When Wet' (1986), produced two number-one hits on the Billboard 100: 'You Give Love A Bad Name' and 'Livin' On A Prayer'. Over the decades, they have scored further hits like 'Bad Medicine', 'I'll Be There For You', 'Lay Your Hands On Me', 'Bed Of Roses', 'Keep The Faith', and 'Always'. After a hiatus in the mid-1990s, the band regrouped in 2000 and performed two sold-out shows at Wembley.
