Bon Jovi fans are in for a treat as the rock icon Bon Jovi confirmed rumors of the new album.  

The singer who brought the hits "Living on A Prayer" and "You Give Love A Bad Name" confirmed the rumors with People magazine, while he was out at Kenneth Cole's Soho location for the "Common Thread: An Acoustic Collection Music Series" event that the two parties are co-sponsoring.

However, Bon Jovi did not give further details about the album name or whether it will be a solo album or new material for the band. To add up, he said that he had begun recording and he is feeling positive about the new album.

"I was in the studio all day working on the new record. I walked here from the studio."

The singer was asked how he manages to get inspiration with nearly 20 band and solo albums already under his belt. According to Bon Jovi, social awareness is his key to get different concepts and viewpoints used in writing new compositions.

"I just read the paper, it gives you an opportunity to write something. It's early but I'm about a dozen songs in. I feel good."

If this should materialize, it would be interesting to know if they will get the services of former guitarist Richie Sambora. Last year, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora debunked reports saying that they are not in good terms. With that said, could a reunion still be possible?

In other news, fans are curious about Bon Jovi's tour date schedule. According to YouthHealthMag, a representative was asked if the rumors of the band touring this year are true, and indeed, a worldwide tour will be scheduled, but by the end of 2016. Perhaps, it will be the new album tour? Stay tuned.
