Bon Jovi’s 2013 “Because We Can” world tour was their third in a six-year span to be ranked the No. 1 top-grossing tour in the world (a feat previously accomplished only by the Rolling Stones). The band’s touring prowess will be recognized Nov. 9 with the 2016 “Legend of Live” award at the Billboard Touring Conference and Awards.

To support “This House is Not for Sale” – also the first Bon Jovi record since Richie Sambora departed – the band is set for upcoming appearances with Howard Stern, Charlie Rose and on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
