BON JOVI Nearing The End Of Lost Highway
July 3, 2008, 16 years ago
According to Gary Graff Billboard.com, with seven more shows left on its Lost Highway tour, things are starting to get "a little bit" sentimental around the BON JOVI camp, according to guitarist Richie Sambora.
"Each tour is the end of an era and it's an end of a journey," Sambora tells Billboard.com. "The journey starts out with Jon (Bon Jovi) and I sitting in the room with a couple of pieces of paper and a pen and a guitar, and the songs start the whole thing. And it ends up in the studio with the band and then on the promotional tour ... and then the fun part, taking it to the people. So this'll be the end of the 'Lost Highway' era -- and the beginning of a new one, absolutely.”
The group kicks off a short North American swing that starts Sunday in Sarnia, Ontario, and finishes with two shows at New York's Madison Square Garden on July 14-15. As previously reported, Bon Jovi will also play the Major League Baseball All-Star Game concert on July 12 in New York's Central Park.
By the time it wraps the tour will play to an expected 966,000 fans worldwide in support of the 2007 album Lost Highway, which was Bon Jovi's first No. 1 debut on The Billboard 200 and has sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide, according to Universal.
