After a three-year hiatus, Jon Bon Jovi is hitting the road with his band on a U.S. tour to promote his latest album, This House is Not for Sale.
The frontman announced the upcoming tour, which is set to kick off in South Carolina on Feb. 8, while on Wednesday’s The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Bon Jovi spoke to DeGeneres about his “tumultuous” three years, and how he took time to “live a life” and then write it all down.

Bon Jovi said — after performing the album on Oct. 1 at The Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank — he realized it was time to go back on the road.
“I looked around and I saw the guys happier than they have ever been, and I was happy and the audience was into it,” the New Jersey rocker said.

Bon Jovi reveals to his fans that the new album is filled with the rock anthems and power ballads for which the band has always been known for.
“There’s a lot of them… This House Is Not for Sale is as much of a statement as we’ve made before, this heart, this soul, this house is not for sale, it’s about my integrity.”
The two-month tour will be the Bon Jovi’s first extended tour since 2013, when the band went on the road to promote Because We Can, which broke records and became the third consecutive tour in six years to become the No. 1 top-grossing tour in the world. Previously, The Rolling Stones had been the only musical act to claim that achievement.
Bon Jovi’s touring legacy will be recognized on Nov. 9 when he’ll receive the 2016 ‘Legend of Live’ Award at the Billboard Touring Conference & Awards.
