Finally Bon Jovi is reportedly working on a new album as a followup to their 2012 record "Inside Out."
The 80s rock band frontman, Jon Bon Jovi told People magazine that he's currently working on new songs to record for the new album.
"I was in the studio all day working on the new record. I walked here from the studio," he said. "I just read the paper, it gives you an opportunity to write something ... It's early but I'm about a dozen songs in. I feel good."
However, fans should not expect any reunion tour with former guitarist and co-founder Richie Sambora as he is now working with Michael Jackson's former guitarist, Orianthi in an interview with Ultimate Classic Rock.
"You know what, I'll tell you, we've played so many shows in so many places, he revealed. "It's been kind of a whirlwind, between the writing process and working with other artists and just us getting to know each other as artists and musicians and touring."
Furthermore, Sambora said that its about time that he move on from the Bon Jovi mania and the 30 years he spent with the band is more than enough time for him to feel proud.
"You have your first No. 1 record, your first hit single and then we had the second one and the 10th one and then you play all of the stadiums," Sambora said of his former band. "It's just insane. It was an insane ride. Thirty years is a good run for anything. Keeping a band together for 30 years is not the easiest thing to do in the world, and we worked really hard at it."
And while there had been speculations that his decision to leave the band had something to do with money, the 55-year-old guitarist insisted that it was about music more than anything else.
I just needed some kind of change," he explained of his exit from Bon Jovi. "It's not about money; it's about music."
However, Richie Sambora has expressed his continued support for the band despite leaving as he recognized the band's "authenticity."
"I think [it was about] good songs and the authenticity didn't really change," he said. "You know, you can't all of a sudden [be] Bon Jovi and turn into f-in' Pink Floyd! Some bands try that and it doesn't work. Stick to who you are and be authentic - I think that was a big part of it - and then just go out there and work."
"I don't care what band you're in - you're a live band, you've got to go out there and prove it every night, and we did. We kept on working really, really hard. It was all hard work and that work ethic never stopped. We're blue-collar kids at heart."
