Aloha !

It might be an economical aspect, but then again, why is Bryan Adams, who's far behind Bon Jovi in popularity, able to tour India and South Africa that much ?

Bryan Adams gave

17 Concerts in Canada
11 Concerts in Australia
06 Concerts in Japan
13 Concerts in the USA
11 Concerts in Europe

Then took one month off and continued

05 Concerts in the rest of Europe like Zagreb, St. Petersburg, Kiev etc.
04 Concerts in the middle east, of which one was cancelled
08 Concerts in West Canada

Now Bryan Adams is from Canada, which explains why he's performing so much over there, but exchange Canada for the USA to compare it with Bon Jovi, since they're from the USA. Now the economical and popularity stuff doesn't make much sense anymore huh ?

Bon Jovi would never be able to tour this heavily since Jon's voice simply can't handle it anymore, we all know that, but at least they could give the entire world really a world tour, not something like the Bounce tour. I'm not saying the Bounce tour wasn't great, it really was great, but it wasn't a world tour. What Bryan Adams, The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney do was giving a world tour.

Yes, Bon Jovi have families, but then again, take a month off between each continent you're touring. Plus that school going kids do have holidays, and when I was a kid I travelled around the world a lot during the summer holidays, which I liked very much, so I doubt if their kids would mind that.
