Bon Jovi: Heads To Germany

There is not much that Bon Jovi hasn't accomplished in its career, but Jon Bon Jovi is pretty excited about being in Germany for the celebration marking the fall of the Berlin Wall. The pair is recently slated to be the only entertainment act at the ceremony on November 9, performing the new single "We Weren't Born to Follow" from the album The Circle. Jon Bon Jovi told Billboard.com that he "wrote a fan letter, 'to whom it may concern,' stating about how we've had such a relationship with Germany for all these years and how relevant the song is to the situation and how I was there chipping away a piece of the wall 20 years ago when it came down." The German government responded by inviting the band to play at the ceremony. "It's a pretty big deal," Bon Jovi stated.The Circle comes out on November 10 and Bon Jovi is so gearing up for its "Artists in Residence" partnership with NBC, which will kick off with a November 4 Today show interview from London.

They also will be on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, an episode of Bravo's Inside the Actor's Studio, and they'll be part of NBC's The More You Know public service campaign.Meanwhile, the first ever Bon Jovi book, When We Were Beautiful, hits stores today.
