Jon Bon Jovi thought cancelling his band’s 2020 tour was the only sensible thing to do under these very unique circumstances—although he knows that it will have a huge impact on the team that supports them on the road. “I was very aware that folks are going to need that money and that money's going to help with rent or groceries and credit card bills,” Bon Jovi tells Apple Music. “In this time of uncertainty, we just wanted folks to know that they were there for us for these three-plus decades; we're there for them. We will be back when it's okay to be back.” In the meantime, the veteran rock singer has been keeping busy by helping put together a one-hour benefit concert for his home state of New Jersey, Jersey 4 Jersey. On this exclusive Apple Music playlist curated by Bon Jovi himself, he shares an eclectic mix of classic New Jersey musicians (Frank Sinatra, The Sugarhill Gang) while also recognising the Garden State’s newer stars (Halsey, Charlie Puth). “Halsey or Charlie Puth—they don’t sound like me or Bruce,” he explains. “What will make them be here in 30-plus years from now is that they have to continue to make their own sound. It’s amazing to see them carrying on and paving their own way now.”
