Bon Jovi Announces Anthology, Set for June Release
Bon Jovi is ready to release its first ever meticulously curated anthology titled *Bon Jovi: Forever*. This new book, scheduled to hit the shelves in June, is published by Genesis Publications and stands out as an exhaustive compilation chronicling the illustrious 40-plus-year history of the band. Authored by the band’s frontman, Jon Bon Jovi, the anthology is released in a limited edition of 1,500 copies, each hand-signed by the iconic singer himself. This beautifully quarter-bound tome encapsulates the band's journey, not just through words but also through a plethora of visuals and memorabilia.
*Bon Jovi: Forever* is not just any ordinary book; it’s an all-access pass to the multi-faceted world of Bon Jovi. The 264-page book serves as a massive archive, housing over 1,300 images that capture the essence of Bon Jovi's rock era. It displays an array of memorabilia that includes handwritten lyrics, tour passes, posters, iconic stage costumes, guitars, and private photographs, diving into the personal archives of the band. Each item represents a piece of history, bringing to life the chronicles of Jon Bon Jovi, who describes the journey from his teenage days in the local music scene to the global fame Bon Jovi enjoys today.
The book's elaborate and unique packaging further enhances its appeal. It is presented in a black vegan leather-bound edition with a clamshell box. The box also includes a host of collectibles such as a 7-inch chrome-colored vinyl with tracks yet to be announced, exact replicas of archived memorabilia, three pins, two guitar picks, a VIP tour pass from the Have a Nice Day tour, and Jon Bon Jovi’s personal All Access laminate pass from the 1984 ‘Runaway Tour'. These additions are aimed at giving fans a tangible piece of Bon Jovi history.
From their humble beginnings in 1983 to their status as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Bon Jovi's journey is marked by over 130 million albums sold worldwide and performances to millions of fans across the globe.
