Some news has come from the people that were lucky enough to be at the event....
* No title for the album yet. * Tour to start on November 1st 2005. 55 USA shows, 13 European, 5 Japanese and 5 Canadian. Somewhere I read that it would be 75 shows total though... so the balance of the shows might be a little wrong. No info on when details will be announced/confirmed officially on BonJovi.com, nor on when tix go on sale though. * Bon Jovi will be playing for 20min at Live 8, at or near the start, so that they get included in the worldwide TV coverage. "Have A Nice Day" is one of the songs that they''ll play. :) * The Keith Urban track is NOT on the CD. Oh, and someone asked Jon what his favourite place to play was, other than NJ... he said Dublin, Ireland. Nice!~ |
