The world�s biggest rock band return with a single set to blast a fresh dose of uplifting rock n roll onto a planet in need of a shot in the arm.
26 years into an incredible career, Jon, Richie, Tico and David just keep sweeping all before them, fresh from being named as the world�s biggest touring band in 2008, they sound as vital as ever.
The single �We Weren�t Born To Follow�,�is a massive piece of anthemic rock, built for stadiums, standing alongside their classics from Livin� On A Prayer to You Give Love A Bad Name.
It is the first single from the forthcoming new album �THE CIRCLE�, out Nov 2nd.
�Having had 5 studio records in this decade, there are songs on each that represent the world around us,� says Jon Bon Jovi of the band�s enduring optimism, �And while they don�t always like what they see, they try hard not to see the cup as half empty.�
This is a landmark year like no other for Bon Jovi, they not only have a new album and single to launch but a forthcoming documentary ��When We Were Beautiful� by filmmaker Phil Griffin shedding fascinating light into the usually hidden world of a global rock band.
��We Weren�t Born To Follow� was written (and co-produced) by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, and was produced by John Shanks, who worked with Bon Jovi on their last two albums, Have A Nice Day (2005) and Lost Highway (2007).�
Have A Nice Day made history when it debuted with the largest first week sales ever in the band�s career.� Lost Highway repeated the feat when it surpassed the first week sales of its predecessor and gave Bon Jovi their first #1 Billboard album debut, hitting number 2 in the UK.
Bon Jovi has set the standard for more than two decades as one of the most successful rock bands ever.� Globally, the multi-Grammy Award-winning group has sold more than 120 million albums and performed more than 2,600 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 34 million fans.�
Bon Jovi�s previous album Lost Highway debuted at #1 in the U.S. and around the world.� The resulting �Lost Highway World Tour� � which famously came to a close with an historic free concert in New York City�s Central Park and two sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden � was ranked as 2008�s #1 top-selling tour around the world according to Billboard and Pollstar.���
