BON Jovi fans have been livin’ on a prayer for the band to book an Australian tour.
After months of speculation, the American rockers will play one stadium concert each in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide in December.
The recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, one of the last stadium rock bands still standing, last played Australia in 2013 on their Because We Can tour.
They kicked off their This House Is Not For Sale tour in the US in February last year off the back of the release of their 13th studio album in late 2016.
The album and tour marks the recognition of guitarist Phil X, who replaced founding member Richie Sambora, and bassist Hugh McDonald as official members of Bon Jovi.
Jon Bon Jovi has said the album, inspired by a black and white montage of an old house anchored by thick tree roots by American photographer Jerry Uelsmann, was about the band’s resilience in an era where rock no longer dominates the airwaves or charts.
