I don't understand why some of you think it's strange that they are rehearsing.
Music is their job, it's their profession. As a professional musician rehearsals are the most important part.
It was rather strange that up until 2005 Jon bragged about not rehearsing at all. 1) I never believed him because especially on that level you have to rehearse to put on a great show 2) With Jon being that workaholic-perfectionist, such a behaviour would have been more than nonprofessional.
So using the time for rehearsals while not on tour is the best they can do. No matter when a new tour will start.

Yeah agreed with the above. There's rumours of a new single to promote the tour. I'll give Jon shit for a lot of things but getting the band together to work on stuff ahead of time should make us happy, not snarky.

This! We gave him a lot of shit to eat for not caring while being off tour and always "having a cold" when they did one-off shows or just started a tour and he wasn't able to sing in key. So to me it's a good thing when he changed that.

I don't know about new work as they never played 2020 in a stadium before and Jon's Oct.2 tweet specifically mentioned "cant wait to play this album in a stadium".

There will be a tour in 2022. If there will be new work, no clue.

Of course, but I don't see them hitting the road promoting an album this old. We know there are some new songs in the can, prolly not a new album but will they release a stand alone EP, just a new single or an expanded 2020 retitled 2022? Who knows.

If we can't get a new album, I like the idea of expanding the 2020 album with a second disc *plus songs. It would be great 2020 reissue with 20 tracks. And if not, then an Ep with 5 - 6 songs would be fine too.

But I think these rehearsals with the band will be for a live performance on TV and radio, maybe a promo show with the public this time.

Every band in the world needs to rehearse.
Theres nothing more to say.
Its just the band rehearshing.

I’m in no rush for a new album after the last 2 and I’ve retired from seeing them live.
Investing my money in pub and new bands.

I really hope if they do release something it’s just a great rock song making full use of Phil X but I just cannot see that happening anymore.

The Drills just cancelled their UK 2022 tour in January "due to covid 19 travel restricitons", clearing up Phil X's schedule (Jan 23-Feb 4).

I expect a Bon Jovi North America tour starting late January, early February to European leg starting in May as usual?

We shall see.

No idea, tour is happening though, it's been already booked.

Surely a tour starting in January is too soon. It's already nearing the end of October. That leaves no real time to sell tickets.

I don't see them coming to Europe that soon either.
