Bon Jovi hits small screen with 'Lost Highway'
Bon Jovi fans who missed the band's "Lost Highway" concert film on the big screen earlier this week can still catch the flick on cable TV and DVD.
The A&E Network will air the concert tomorrow night (11/10) in its primetime special "A&E Rocks: Bon Jovi." Three days later, the DVD "Lost Highway: The Concert" will arrive in stores. That version includes an additional 30 minutes of concert footage and exclusive backstage interviews. The film captures the rockers' July 30 show in Chicago, where they performed their latest No. 1 album, "Lost Highway," in its entirety along with several of their hits.
In the meantime, Bon Jovi is getting ready to wrap its 10-night stand at Newark, NJ's Prudential Center this weekend and head out on a world tour that is scheduled to stretch through next summer.
The trek launches Nov. 14 with a two-night stand in Montreal and travels through Canada into mid-December. Japan and Australia are slated for January, and a 24-date US run begins Feb. 18 in Omaha, NE. The US schedule has been tweaked since last check, with shows in Pittsburgh, PA; Kansas City, MO; and Des Moines, IA, being shuffled around. An updated itinerary is listed below. Tickets for US shows go on sale to the general public beginning tomorrow (11/10).
UK stadium dates have also been announced in June and the tour is expected to visit countries including New Zealand, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Holland and Austria before it's all said and done. Information about overseas shows is available at Bon Jovi's website.
The Nashville-inspired "Lost Highway," which surfaced in June, is Bon Jovi's ninth album of original material and the band's first chart-topper since 1988's "New Jersey." The set follows 2005's platinum-selling "Have a Nice Day," which spawned the Grammy-winning duet "Who Says You Can't Go Home" with Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles.
The new album's lead single, "(You Want to) Make a Memory," has made waves at adult-contemporary and pop radio. The title track from "Lost Highway" is scheduled to be released Dec. 3 along with a live version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."
Bon Jovi has sold more than 120 million albums and performed upwards of 2,500 concerts in more than 50 countries, according to a press release.
