Jon Bon Jovi was haunted by an image. It was a striking black and white image, created by artist Jerry Uelsmann, of a proud, historic stone house anchored by deep roots. For Jon, “that picture told our story…now it’s our album cover,” he said.

That image was in his mind while writing the title track of Bon Jovi’s 14th studio album, This House is Not for Sale, which finds Jon returning “home” on his own terms, to the same label he signed his first (and only) record deal with. Produced by John Shanks and Jon Bon Jovi, much of the new album was recorded in the same New York City studio where the band cut its first album in 1983 - Avatar (formerly the Power Station), with additional recording at Electric Lady Studios.

They’ve sold over 130 million albums worldwide, consistently added new anthems to the charts and airwaves, and embarked on global tours that have been named top-grossing, box office successes.

This House is Not For Sale, in the same vein, is Bon Jovi at its finest, biggest and most self-aware.

No small statement from a man whose career is defined by anthems that have united generations for the past three decades. With that, This House is Not For Sale invites all to break bread with Bon Jovi and join them for decades to come.
