Why is JBJ so secluded? Why there isn’t any forever promo?

Hello: Does anyone know what’s JBJ up to these days? Why isn’t there any Forever promo? Is there something in the horizon? Thanks.

No one knows for sure. We've been talking about this in the thread for the album. Some theories are the label has stopped financing promo due to low sales, other theories are the death of his mother kiboshed the plans.

I'm of the mind more was planned, there were supposed to be promo shows with the album being played in full back in June until Jon realized his voice couldn't take it. I can't be sure if the vocal issues are the biggest reason there is little to no promo now.

I think the poor sales of the album has slightly taken the label/band by surprise and they pulled the plug on and planned further promo or single releases. I can’t see how Jon’s mum dying should have any bearing apart from maybe delaying things by a couple of weeks.☹️

As I said before, it's really unusual for a label to continue to spend money on an album promo after the first week chart position these days. Unless you are selling millions and millions, there's just no point. The whole goal is to maximise first week sales, after that the label is done for 90% or artists. I find it hard to believe that the label were at all shocked by the album sales, or that they pulled any plans because of the sales. It probably sold about what they would have expected. It did ok. Job done as far as they are concerened...

This this this.

Yes the album sold poorly. Hey guess what, so did the last four or five when the ticket bundle wasn't rolled in. Forever did as good or as bad as it was ever going to do.

But even knowing what they know, to finance another (maybe two) music vidoes and talk about doing promo shows....to from that to zip, zero, silence other the occasional IG story or tweet about "hey what's your favourite song" feels amiss. Were there not more promo and video releases in the can, I'd have an easier time swallowing it all.

Maybe they thought by now they'd be on tour or doing shows to promote it or putting out new promo made sense and it went tits up when Jons voice wasn't doing what they hoped? They gotta be realistic enough to know this thing was never going to sell well.

I think the main reason is Jons voice and thats it. He cant sing new music and promo stoped.

No. He did a huge amount of promotion for the documentary and the album without any signing.

There's only so much promo you can do without a tour to go with it. Jon has already spoken to everyone about the album. Who else is left that would be interested at this point? What else is there to talk about?

He made a sincere effort and did podcasts I never dreamed he would be on. On that stance, he did a great job. But the band is so adverse to well produced video content.Like, so many other bands have gotten the process right with video diaries and loook back videos and q and a's and things to stoke the fanbase until whatever happens next. I think you can still do promo that isnt traditional question and answer style interview. Though I dont think it will ever make the band relevant again so maybe not.

Its their strongest album in awhile it makes me so sad they couldnt put out a single other music video.

They should take a leaf out of Def Leppard's book when it comes to the socials. They clearly have their own team that do a great job for them.

It's clear to me that Jovi rely on Universal with help on their social media. The problem is that unless you are a young and current pop artist Universal just have no idea how to engage your audience using the socials.
