Bon Jovi: New Album, but not for Grammys

Bon Jovi is in the studio recording a new album. But don’t expect them to make the Grammy deadline of August 31st.

Band insiders say a single may make the early cut-off. The album, though, will likely drop later in the fall, maybe in November.

This news accounts for the lack of Bon Jovi touring dates this summer. So far they’ve booked only June 25th and June 27th. In this economy, sources point out, Jon and Richie and the gang would be better off waiting until next year, hope for an upturn, and tour behind a new CD.
