TUNE IN TOMORROW, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22nd AT 12:00pm EDT FOR AN EXCLUSIVE FAN CONCERT & SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

This exclusive concert event, broadcast from the band’s home state of New Jersey, will be streamed in real time.

Having 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 is at their best when they’re on the move, and that’s truer now than ever before. The November 10th, 2009 release of Bon Jovi’s new album, The Circle, provides a powerful reassertion of Bon Jovi’s commitment to the hard-hitting rock & roll that has been the band’s indelible signature since it began more than 26 years ago.

So rumors are swirling about Bon Jovi’s upcoming The Circle Tour. Obie O’Brien on BonJovi.com said this about The Circle World Tour:

I will tell you this, only a few tour dates have been confirmed at this time. There is a tons of false dates and routing info floating around on the internet. The band and staff are working hard to make this an amazing tour and want to get dates and info to you all as fast as they can.It’s a HUGE task and everyone is on it.(cept me, toooo much work doing tour planning) There is a new updated Bon Jovi web site coming and will have lots of info. Stick around, it’s gonna be good.

Of course, as more information is made available, we’ll let you guys know. Thanks!

Apparently, the baby boomers didn’t have a problem with the high prices, as the show sold out rather quickly. If you still want tickets, you’re only option is to go through a ticket broker.

Jon Bon Jovi fears he may be starting to lose his hair, and he’s already devising treatments to help save his prized locks. The 46-year-old singer has long been known for his long, flowing tresses but has opted for a shorter style in recent years.

And he puts the change down to his receding hairline, which is starting to make him paranoid about ending up bald. Bon Jovi says, “Oh, let me tell you, I am so worried. I look at guys like Sting and think, ‘Well, he’s cool about it,’ but I’m already losing it a bit and I’m so aware of it. Someone told me that you have to regularly massage your scalp, so I do that all the time. You look like a jerk, but it’s got to be worth a shot, right?”

Shot through the heart, and you’re to blame.. Darlin’ can you go buy me a bottle of Rogaine?

Bon Jovi has been touring all across the globe in support of their latest release, “Lost Highway”. The band recently played in Canada, and are slated to play in Japan, Australia, and New Zealand before heading back to the states in mid-Febuary for their next leg of the Lost Highway Tour.

Daughtry, the rock band fronted by “American Idol” finalist Chris Daughtry, will open for Bon Jovi for their US dates.

The Bon Jovi rocker admits the band will never be as popular as they were in their 1980s heyday, but they don’t care as long as they can continue to make a living out of music.

He says: “It’s not about having to prove anything any more. I think we feel that less and less with each album – we know what we’ve achieved.”

The 45-year-old also insists it is important to keep coming up with new and original material – which is why the band opted for a country influence on their latest album Lost Highway, which was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee and features a duet with LeAnn Rimes.

He adds: “It’s important we experiment. Without experimentation there wouldn’t be growth, and you risk becoming something of a nostalgia act, trying to repeat past successes.”
