Hello,
yesterday I got some news from a couple of german friends. there was this article in the newspaper about bon jovi cancelling their upcoming tour. in short they said this:
there were gonna sign a show in wolfsburg on the 24th. the contract was already made up, they just had to sign it. but then the band announced the european tour was cancelled. the agent gave as a reason that there were time-problems with the new album.

There was also some news in Holland that a concert planned in Nijmegen wasn't so sure either. On the other hand: yesterday on bonjov.com Q&A the Oompas answered again that the album is gonna be released in spring. And that was announced earier this year already. so there's no sign from them there aren't any time-problems.
(Q&A: Question:
when will bon jovi new album be out in england?
