Because of high demand, Bon Jovi has added more dates to its Live 2011 Tour and that means a second night at Mohegan Sun Arena.
The band, scheduled to perform at 8 p.m. Friday, now will also take over the casino’s stage on May 7 to entertain Eastern Connecticut rock’n’roll fans.
Bon Jovi recently released another greatest hits collection with four new tracks — “What Do You Got?,” “The More Things Change,” “No Apologies” and “This Is Love, This Is Life.” The new songs were written and recorded specifically for the compilation, includes the band’s biggest hits including “Livin’ On A Prayer,” “Wanted Dead or Alive” and the Grammy-winning duet “Who Says You Can’t Go Home.”
After 12 albums and several collection releases, Bon Jovi finally earned a Grammy Award in 2006 when they collaborated with Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland for “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” and won for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals — not bad for a rock band from New Jersey.
For almost three decades, Bon Jovi has been performing worldwide for more than 34 million fans and has thrown together some of the most popular rock anthems from the 1980s through 2010. Some of those songs came early on from the band’s ’80s albums, in particular 1986’s “Slippery When Wet,” which bred “You Give Love a Bad Name,” “Livin’ On A Prayer,” “Wanted Dead or Alive,” “I’d Die For You” and “Never Say Goodbye.”
Internationally, the band has sold more than 120 million albums, and performed more than 2,600 concerts in more than 50 countries.
