Following the recent devastating weather on the east coast of the United States, Jon Bon Jovi had no option other than to cancel his current European press junket in London and fly back at the earliest opportunity.

Jon says: “I really need to get back home having spoken to my wife and kids who are stuck in New York, I need to be with my people. Thankfully my family are safe.

There is no power, water, the devastation is off the charts. The President is in my home town in New Jersey because of the damage. It’s like Armageddon. Where my children surf, 80 houses burnt down.”.

New Jersey’s favourite son Jon is flying back to help the clean up of the area and help to get his charity restaurant mobilized. He is already heavily involved with what will undoubtedly be an unprecedented amount of aide for homeless and disadvantaged people. The Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation will help to feed victims of the terrible storm that has destroyed much of the area.

“I am committed to my Soul Foundation and Soul Kitchen Restaurant which a lot of people rely on for their food. I need to find a generator and get that working. What can I do, I have to get there and find out. We take care of each other, that’s what we do in own town.”


Jon was in Ireland earlier this week to announce that Bon Jovi will headline Slane Castle next sumer on June 15th. Tickets are on sale next Thursday, 8th November at 8am from Ticketmaster outlets and online at www.ticketmaster.ie

Speaking of the announcement Lord Henry Mountcharles earlier this week said:

"I have seen Bon Jovi live and was deeply impressed. They are one of the most successful touring acts in rock and roll history. Over the years I have been bombarded with requests for them to play Slane. Last week one from America read "Bon Jovi at Slane?! Could my dreams have come true! "Now I am thrilled to say those dreams are a reality."
