Bon Jovi reveals news of upcoming album 'Burning Bridges'

Bon Jovi to drop new album 'Burning Bridges' on Aug. 21

Bon Jovi has announced plans to release a special fan album next month. Titled Burning Bridges, the effort is set to hit shelves just prior to their upcoming overseas tour on Aug. 21 via Island Records.

According to an article posted July 17 at Billboard, the album appears to be collection of previous outtakes as evidenced by the songwriting credits, which include contributions by recently departed Bon Jovi lead guitarist Richie Sambora. The album title may be a poke at their former bandmate, who departed the band abruptly and under mysterious circumstances just prior to their 2013 North American tour.

The veteran New Jersey rockers plan to release two tracks from the album sometime this month. The titles for the upcoming songs are "We Don't Run" and "Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning."

A Bon Jovi official has confirmed the Grammy winners are currently in the studio working on a brand new studio album, which will hit shelves sometime in 2016. The release will mark the band's first full recording venture since Sambora's departure

The band announced several 2015 international tour dates last month, which will include first-time ever visits to China and Israel. The tour is slated to kick off Sept. 11 in Jakarta, Indonesia. Bon Jovi will be hitting the road for the first time since wrapping up their AEG Live produced Because We Can Tour in December 2013.

Frontman Jon Bon Jovi recently dropped a new solo release titled "Beautiful Day," one of 15-tracks from the star-studded Broadway musical soundtrack of Finding Neverland. The album hit shelves June 9 via Universal.

Prior the international tour launch, the charismatic frontman is slated to perform a headline solo outing with his band, The Kings of Suburbia on August 22 in Vancouver, British Columbia, at Stanley Park. For the latest information on Bon Jovi, click here.
