To promote the new album, Bon Jovi made several television appearances, including the 6th annual CMT Awards in Nashville, American Idol, and MTV Unplugged, as well as playing at the Live Earth concert at Giants Stadium[1]. They ... performed ten promotional gigs in the U.S., Canada, the UK and Japan. As part of the 'tour', Bon Jovi were the first group to perform at London's new O2 Arena (formerly the Millennium Dome) when it opened to the public on June 24, 2007.

Ten months after the release of Bon Jovi's most recent album, "Have a Nice Day" has sold more than a million copies. And, in a first for the rock 'n' roller, the album spawned a No. 1 country single, "Who Says You Can't Go Home," with Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles. Recently back from a European tour, Bon Jovi, 44, is booked at a handful of U.S. stadiums, including one unusual show where his opening act is a football team.

With the help of their new manager Doc McGhee, the band's debut album, Bon Jovi, was released on January 21, 1984. The album went gold in the US (sales of over 500,000) and was ... released in the UK. The group found themselves opening for ZZ Top at the Madison Square Garden (before their first album had been released), and for Scorpions and Kiss in Europe. They also made an appearance on Dick Clark's American Bandstand.

Bon Jovi says regardless of what happens with "Memory," there are more country singles coming from his group's "Lost Highway," which blends Bon Jovi's trademark radio-friendly guitar rock with country overtones. Many tracks would sound right at home on a Keith Urban or Kenny Chesney album and Bon Jovi and LeAnn Rimes veer into Tim McGraw/Faith Hill territory on the lonesome lovers' ballad "Stranger." "I was always one of those artists who wanted to share [my music] with as many people as were willing to listen to it," Bon Jovi says, "so if country is another place for me to get ears to give it a shot, hallelujah."
