Years had passed since their last tour and he certainly didn't know that the expectations for this last one had to be higher than their last show..

Of course it was also true that in Slippery when wet they were young and with the desire to break the world, but they didn't have to prove anything about this...
They just had to make it clear that they were there and that they would never really leave..

The album was like restoring faith in them and the awareness that despite various diatribes, certainly their sense of family had not changed and never would..

Jon loved his companions and this concept or, if we prefer, feeling was also expressed by other people, who despite disagreements and disagreements, their esteem and their mutual effect was still intact as on the first day..

Ever since they became a group again and recorded Keep The Faith they promised themselves to become the group they had always been again..

Stronger than before and with the desire to break through more and more, reaching other people of different ages, new sounds, new projects and their tour had to be a mix of all this, it had to reflect the new Bon Jovi..
Just like they were, that is, different from everyone else, from the very beginning..

Jon had always been a perfectionist, everything had to be just the way he wanted, everything had to be perfect and this tour had to be just as he had imagined it as he had always dreamed of, just like their return album on the scene as a single group..

- Jon, you're unfriendly, you're there, you seem to be somewhere else and not here - June told him, seeing that her friend was elsewhere, but not among them.

- the only thing I'm thinking about is that everything has to be perfect, I need to make it clear that we're really back, just like our record - Jon told her, and that's what he really thought

- if you were part of your thoughts it would be better, since the tour belongs to all of us - said Richie, and in fact he was right, this tour had to be right for them..

- I would like people to have faith in us again, like they always have, we are back to trusting each other, they are equal and this tour must represent just that - Jon told the others

The word faith was the one that represented this strange situation most of all, which was never strange, but perhaps returning to truly singing together was the part to worry about the most, also because it wasn't like a record, live he wanted precisely, seeing the chemistry between five people who hadn't seen each other for three years and who had separate projects..

Even if for Jon gaining experience and inciting others to do something more than just the band, it was worth its weight in gold and a cultural baggage that would have been part of the band despite everything..

And June carefully watched every move Jon and the rest of the band made as they tried to figure out how to put on an unforgettable show.

She had always been fascinated by that singer's way of doing things, ever since she was simply a fan, she was learning a lot from him and she was grateful for it, more and more every day..

Having someone like Jon Bon Jovi as a teacher was worth more than anything in the world...

Furthermore, she was learning a lot from how to deal with journalists, even if in reality she had nothing to do with those media, being behind the scenes of the whole process of the band, plus she prayed to never enter them..

- Jon, you guys realize that in less than an hour you have an interview with people magazine to launch the summer tour of the new album - June said all of a sudden to the guys

- but if we still don't have anything concrete and it's more than a year away - Alec said to June

- Alec the interview is based on the album Keep The Faith, and clearly they will ask you questions about the future tour, you remain vague - said June responding to Alec

- guys we are now adults and ready for these interviews, they are not the first ones we have done, so let's not worry anymore than we should - Jon said to the four boys

It had been years since they did an interview together, but they were certainly aware that if they stayed together, everything would be fine..

- Well guys, the journalist is here in the next room - said their manager

- already, Ok let's answer what we can, for the rest we won't invent anything - Jon said to his friends

- June, you are the social media manager, I would like you to participate - her father told her

- I ?! And why shouldn't they interview me," June said to her father

- as a witness to the interview nothing more, based on the fact that everything must always be on the social page - his father then said

-Okay, as you wish, I'll go with them-said June

- hey don't worry there won't be people who will ask you anything - said Jon

-I hope so, I can't handle an interview like that,- June said to Jon

-The spotlight will be on us throughout the interview,-said Hugh

-It's time to go in,- said Tico

This interview had to go in the right direction, he had always been convinced that to sell an album you need to arouse curiosity in those who would one day buy the album..

- Well what does Keep the Faith mean to you? - asked the journalist, guys

- rebirth, for us this album represents an act of faith towards those who have never stopped listening to us, we have rediscovered faith and trust in the group and our fans will have to have faith in us again - Jon began to say

- clearly it will be a more mature sound, compared to Slippery when wet, also because the age is different and we have changed and our experiences have led us to do something different, but always respecting our way of being and the concept that we carry - said Richie

- but tell us what pushed you to get back together? - he then asked

- let's start with the fact that we have never argued, but certainly, we have always said that we are like a family and there are times that, as often happens, we can't stand each other, also because we are five very different guys, with different thoughts and then we realized that after the last tour we were no longer the same and they couldn't find us and that's why we ended up disbanding the group - said Hugh

- we got back together because we realized that we were missing that piece of life and finding ourselves together in the studio we felt as if nothing had changed - said David

- what do you expect from this return - asked the journalist

- We don't know what to expect, but we hope that our return will please our fans - said Tico

- tour for the new album - and here's the question that still didn't have an actual answer

- then for sure there will be, but we still don't have an actual idea of what it will be like, but it will be a great show for our return as a band - said Richie

- we are very perfectionists, this must also be said, so this great event will be difficult to organize, we admit it, we hope to be able to organize something that is in our style and our way of being - said Jon

- thank you for being in our company - said the journalist

- thanks to you - the five boys replied under June's pleased gaze ..
