According to the official BON JOVI website, during a recent interview with long time friend and supporter Pierre Robert of WMMR radio in Philadelphia, frontman Jon Bon Jovi revealed that there is a new Bon Jovi album in the works. It is expected to be released “in the first half of 2005”. No details have been released other than the band is owrking with producer John Shanks.

As previously reported, a five disc box set entitled 100 Million Bon Jovi Fans Can’t Be Wrong will be released worldwide on November 15th, 2004. According to a press release, Bon Jovi (the band) supervised the project at every stage. It will be comprised of three CDs of songs previously unreleased by the band, a fourth CD with many of Bon Jovi's favorite previously released rarities (from movie soundtracks and a variety of sources here and abroad), and a DVD of never-before-seen behind-the-scenes film and video footage.

The entire contents of the box set are in the final phase of production, but the band now confirms that among the previously unreleased materials (many of which are completed tracks that never made it onto albums) will be songs even the most hard-core fans have never heard, including ‘Why Aren't You Dead?’, ‘One To Say Goodbye’, and ‘Gotta Have A Reason’. Similarly, the fourth disc, containing songs which have been released in limited formats previously, is slated to include the movie tracks ‘Good Guys Don't Always Wear White’ (from The Cowboy Way), ‘Real Life’ (from EDTV), an original demo of the hit single ‘Always’, and international B-sides such as ‘Temptation’.
