The record company will have nothing to do with shows, especially now that CDs are not sold with tickets. And it would be very unusual for any band to have a kind of contract with a promoter that forces them to do shows. Jon and his management are too smart to have a contract like that. So I'd be suprised if that's it.
How much money has Bon Jovi the company earned in the last couple of years? not much, same as most of the entertainment industry. But they still have outgoings that need paying, rentals on equitment storage, wages, tax bills etc etc etc. It all adds up! Maybe it's simply a case of they had to do these shows in order to keep things ticking along financially for Bon Jovi the company, rather than to make Jon a shit load of money....
