Over an illustrious career spanning more than four decades since their formation in 1983,Bon Jovihas earned their place among global rock royalty.

Beginning with their 1986 breakthrough albumSlippery When Wetand back-to-back No. 1 songs “You Give Love A Bad Name” and “Livin’ On A Prayer,”Bon Jovi’sunique blend of straight up rock n’ roll and universal, everyman lyrics that speak directly to fans’ lives have made the band a mainstay on the charts worldwide. A phenomenon during the mid-to-late-80s,Bon Jovibucked labels and defied the ever-fickle music industry to not only survive but thrive during the 90s, emerging again in 2000 with the massive hit single “It’s My Life,” which ushered in an era of unprecedented popularity and success in the band’s career, including a Grammy Award for their 2005 No. 1 hit single, “Who Says You Can’t Go Home.”

The album is multi-platinum in the U.S. and has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide.Bon Jovioriginally envisioned theNew Jerseyproject as a double-LP, using the working title Sons Of Beaches.
