Bon Jovi have revamped 2024's Forever album with Bruce Springsteen, Robbie Williams, Avril Lavigne and more guesting, resulting in "a collaboration album that proves we all get by in this world with a little help from our friends" says Jon Bon Jovi

"This album is more than just a collection of collaborations, it is an album borne out of necessity"

Bon Jovi

Bon Jovi have announced the forthcoming release of a new version of last year's Forever album, featuring vocals from Bruce Springsteen, Def Leppard's Joe Elliott, Robbie Williams, Avril Lavigne, James Bay and more.

The revamped record, Forever (Legendary Edition), will be released on October 24.

"This album is more than just a collection of collaborations, it is an album borne out of necessity," Jon Bon Jovi says in a statement. "My vocal cord rehab was a well-documented journey that played out while releasing Forever in 2024. I was singing well in the studio for recording, but the vocal demands and rigors of touring were still slightly out of reach for me. Without an ability to tour at that time, I continued working in the studio and called on some friends, great singers, artists, musicians and also just great people.

"The result is an album with a new viewpoint and new spirit – a collaboration album that proves we all get by in this world with a little help from our friends. I feel tremendous joy and gratitude releasing this album and I think it shows in the music. I can say with certainty that there is always something bigger than ME, and that’s WE."

The album also features a new opening track, Red, White & Jersey.

The full tracklist is:

1. Red, White & Jersey
2. Legendary (feat. James Bay)
3. We Made It Look Easy (feat. Robbie Williams)
4. Living Proof (feat. Jelly Roll)
5. Waves (feat. Jason Isbell)
6. Seeds (feat. Ryan Tedder)
7. Kiss The Bride (feat. Billy Falcon)
8. The People’s House (feat. The War & Treaty)
9. Walls Of Jericho (feat. Joe Elliott)
10. I Wrote You A Song (feat. Lainey Wilson)
11. Living In Paradise (feat. Avril Lavigne)
12. My First Guitar (feat. Marcus King)
13. Hollow Man (feat. Bruce Springsteen)
14. We Made It Look Easy / Hicimos Que Pareciera Fácil (feat. Carin León)

"I've had major reconstructive surgery in my vocal cords, and I never had anything like this ever," he told the audience at Pollstar Live! "So it's been a difficult road, but I found a doctor in Philadelphia who did something called a medialization, because one of my cords was literally atrophied. Sometimes people get nodules; that's a pretty common place. Sometimes deviated septums and things that they've done take its toll on the cords. The only thing that's ever been up my nose has been my finger.

"And so it was very difficult this last decade to have to contend with something that was out of my control, which was … the strong [vocal cord] was literally taking what was left of the weak one. So they put a plastic implant in it for the last almost two years now. I've been in this rehab, getting it back together, but I'm getting very close."

When Classic Rock spoke with JBJ last summer, he described his battle with his vocal issues as "the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with", adding, "it was f***ing tough."

I hope so, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Robbie song isn’t a single.

They’re a US band at the end of the day, and most of the other features are more relevant over there.

15 years ago I would be the happiest person in a room because I liked BJ very much. Have A Nice Day was my fave album in my university life, while solo album by John was my faves after all Robbie's albums talking about solo singers.

Many years passed since then but I still admire BJ although almost not follow them.

Happy the rumors are true!

Waiting for a duet and yes, maybe they will release it as a single or at least as a making off video.

They might do different single releases in the UK to the US.

It's not really a thing these days though, although I guess I can see it being the song they push to radio over here.

WE MADE IT LOOK EASY


Lyrics:

We would laugh 'til we cried

Getting drunk, getting high

When we didn't know how

We were chasing the dawn

Getting lost in a song Trying to figure it out

Sometimes the things you want ain't what you need

Sometimes you know a dream is just a dream

But we

We made it look easy We made it look easy

We were broke-down cars chasing shooting stars

We were full of seventeen

And we made it look easy

Didn't we?

Look at us, blood on blood

Same today as it was

Been a hell of a ride

Jersey Shore, cover bands

Couple friends in the stands

On a Saturday night

Sometimes the things you want ain't what you need

Sometimes you know a dream is just a dream

But we

We made it look easy

We made it look easy

We were broke-down cars chasing shooting stars

We were full of seventeen

And we made it look easy

Didn't we?

Didn't we?

Didn't we?

Jersey Shore, cover bands

Couple friends in the stands

On a Saturday night

We made it look easy

We made it look easy

We made it look easy

We were broke-down cars chasing shooting stars

We were full of seventeen

And we made it look easy

Didn't we?

didn't we?

(We made it look easy) oh, didn't we?

(We made it look easy) didn't we?

Bon Jovi have teamed up with Robbie Williams for a new version of ‘We Made It Look Easy’.

The track originally featured on the rock band’s 2024 album ‘Forever’, but it’s now been reimagined for their revisited guest-heavy version of the record, ‘Forever (Legendary Edition)’.

“Robbie is one of the greatest entertainers, period. I’ve loved his music for years, and I’m honoured to have him join me and the band on ‘We Made It Look Easy’. He’s lived this lyric. I knew he’d deliver,” said frontman Jon Bon Jovi of the collab. You can listen to it below.

The record also features guest artists like Bruce Springsteen, Avril Lavigne, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Ryan Tedder, the War & Treaty, Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, and more. It arrives October 24, and you can pre-order/pre-save here.

The record was announced earlier this summer and saw the band drop Springsteen collab ‘Hollow Man’ as well as a new single ‘Red, White & Jersey’.
