According to Bon Jovi, "This hits it right in the head and tells you what happened.
The album's title track makes explicit reference to Bon Jovi's dissatisfaction with the label. But my deal was up, and that's that," said Jon Bon Jovi in an interview with Billboard. I am the longest tenured artist on Mercury, or whatever they are called this week. "I've stayed at that label my entire life - 32 years. īurning Bridges was conceived to fulfill Bon Jovi's commitment to Mercury Records, as the band and label could not agree on adjusted terms for the band's recording contract.

After a year and a half and you miss 80 shows … I don’t think that’s possible.” By February 2015, Jon confirmed that he was still in an early stage of songwriting process with around 12 songs written and that inspiration for writing those songs came out of reading newspapers. Jon said: "I’d be hard-pressed to, so would David, so would Tico. He also confirmed that lead guitarist Richie Sambora left the band and said that the doors are wide open for him if he wants to return to the band, even though is highly unlikely.
