The veteran rock band announced the 14-track collaboration album will include the lead single, Red, White and Jersey, which will be released on Friday.
"This album is more than just a collection of collaborations, it is an album borne out of necessity. My vocal cord surgery and subsequent rehab was a well-documented journey that played out while releasing Forever in June 2024," Jon Bon Jovi said. Â
"I was singing well enough in the studio for the recording, but the vocal demands and rigours of touring were still out of reach for me."
Forever (Legendary Edition) features performances from a host of big-name stars, including the likes of James Bay, Robbie Williams, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Avril Lavigne and Bruce Springsteen.
And Bon Jovi's frontman relished working with some of his showbiz pals on the new record.
"Without the ability to tour or promote an album we were all very proud of, I decided to call on some friends to help me in my time of need. All are great singers, artists, and also just great people.
"The result is an album with a new viewpoint and new spirit - a collaboration album that proves we all get by in this world with a little help from our friends."
Bon Jovi likened his vocal chord surgery to an athlete suffering an injury.
"I was overusing it," he said.
"Even though I'm trained and I have studied the craft for these 40 years, eventually the body gives out. It's not dissimilar to being an athlete."
