“Our last record, which was called 2020, was a lot of observations and narratives about what was going on in the world around us – whether it was the COVID crises or George Floyd, shootings in schools, soldiers with PTSD,” Bon Jovi continued, explaining that following that album, he wound up running into a vocal issue that required surgery.
“But on the other end of it all came joy,” he said, “and my ability to look up in the morning, see the sky and say, ‘Huh, that big red ball up in there is the sun, and it’s shining!'”
