The This House Is Not For Sale Tour has already received fan and critical acclaim, with its first North American leg grossing an estimated $47 million and its South American leg grossing nearly $40 million. Atlanta Journal-Constitution raved, “(The tour) solidifies their standing as one of rock’s most resilient acts.” Creative Loafing Tampa said, “Bon Jovi leaves 18,000 screaming, standing fans shot through the heart…” while the Los Angeles Daily News reported that “JBJ shook the stage from the start to end with energy and enthusiasm, and he kept that energy rolling with a voice in tip top shape…” The St. Louis Post-Dispatch said “Bon Jovi doesn’t miss a beat…” and the Toronto Sun enthused, “It was anthemic Bon Jovi at its best…”

The This House Is Not for Sale Tour was Bon Jovi’s first outing since the band’s 2013 Because We Can World Tour. 2013’s tour was their fourth in six years to be ranked the No. 1 top-grossing tour in the world (a feat accomplished by only The Rolling Stones previously) with a total of $259.5 million. Bon Jovi also earned the No. 1 grossing worldwide tour in 2010 for The Circle Tour, with $201 million total, and 2008’s Lost Highway tour, which earned $210.6 million. Bon Jovi’s touring legacy was recognized with the “Legend of Live” award at the Billboard Touring Conference & Awards prior to the kick-off of The This House Is Not for Sale Tour.

Bon Jovi released This House Is Not for Sale (Island Records) on Nov. 4, 2016 which debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart, giving the rock band its sixth U.S. No. 1. Worldwide, the album hit No. 1 in Australia and Austria; No. 2 in Spain and Switzerland; No. 3 in Canada and Germany; and hit the top 10 in Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Scotland and the United Kingdom. This House Is Not for Sale was Bon Jovi’s first major release since What About Now (2013), the band’s third consecutive multi-platinum album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 (Lost Highway in 2007, and The Circle in 2009).

Guy Visits Long-Distance Girlfriend In Toronto And Sketches Their Best Moments Together

0

Sometimes, feelings between people are stronger than the distance that separates them. It all started when Italy-based digital artist Simone “Simz” Ferriero had fallen for a girl even though he hadn’t met her. “She saw me [streaming] on Twitch,” he told Bored Panda. “We then started to chat regularly.” After some time, however, he decided it wasn’t enough and booked an intercontinental flight to meet Krisi in real life. Ferriero has documented his unforgettable experience in a comic-diary, and it looks better than a Hollywood romance movie.

Scroll down to check out what happened from 16 Dec to 1 Jan while Ferriero was in Toronto.

A Day Before Her Death, A 27-Year-Old Wrote A Letter, And It Will Change Your Life

0

Holly Butcher, a 27-year-old from Grafton in NSW, Australia, recently lost her battle with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare form of cancer that tend to affect young people. 27 years old.

As she came to terms with her mortality, Holly decided to write an emotionally heart-wrenching letter on Facebook about the lessons she learned, telling readers her experience made her come to value every second of her time on earth. “I’m 27 now. I don’t want to go,” she wrote. “I love my life. I am happy…I owe that to my loved ones. But the control is out of my hands.”

Give your loved ones a big hug tonight.

Charlotte Gainsbourg Confirms European And Japanese Tour Dates

0

Charlotte Gainsbourg, who recently released her new album ‘Rest’ to widespread critical acclaim, has announced a string of European and Japanese shows in early 2018. Her Coachella appearance in 2010 was lauded by LA Times’s Todd Martens as “the most captivating 45 minutes I’ve experienced at Coachella”. Tickets will go on sale on Friday, January 12.

“Thanks to a first step into directing, I was able to take possession of my own imagery,” says Gainsbourg of the videos she’s made—for an album on which she likewise takes possession of her own feelings of grief and loss, bliss and memory in lyrics that, for the first time, are fully hers.

Rest received a flood of praise on its release, with Pitchfork noting that “every word craves attention” and NPR calling it, “gorgeous and assured.” As 2017 came to a close, Rest emerged on numerous year-end best albums lists, including The Guardian, The Independent, Noisey, Flood Magazine, and Pitchfork, who further wrote, “As Gainsbourg longs to commune with her lost spirits, Rest suggests that grief’s best possible outcome can be a kind of beautiful purgatory.”

Produced by SebastiAn (Frank Ocean, Kavinsky) and mixed by Tom Elmhirst (Adele, Lorde, David Bowie), Rest is Gainsbourg’s first studio album in seven years. It features collaborations with Paul McCartney, Daft Punk’s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, Connan Mockasin and Owen Pallett (Arcade Fire, Caribou). The eleven songs on Rest are nothing if not sure-footed, proffering a compelling fusion of gleaming, string-emblazoned modern electro-pop and cinematically textured avant-chanson—their magical music box melodies kissed by bruised, introspective, occasionally disquieting lyrics.

“I’m a Lie,” and the singles preceding it, are excerpts from the film “Charlotte By Charlotte.”

Listen To 4 Early Nirvana “Nevermind” Demos

0

John Purkey, the hero we needed today, has uploaded for Nirvana cassettes that Kurt Cobain gave him, including early Nirvana demos from the 1980’s recorded with Dale Crover, early Bleach recordings, and early Nevermind recordings with Chad Channing on drums, and not Dave Grohl.

Purkey described the Nevermind recordings, “Recorded with Chad produced by Butch Vig. I think it is known as the smart studio demo. Kurt started high speed dubbing at the beginning of pay to play. To can hear a slight glitch when he pressed the high speed button. This is the first tape Kurt gave to me. Sound quality is not perfect but it’s not too bad. It is listenable. Paper cuts sounds a little warbaly at first and that is exactly how it was when Kurt gave it to me. I got used to it. It slowly becomes clear sounding.”
