 The American rock band Bon Jovi will launch their 2019 European tour with a concert at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium on May 31. The band will be coming back to Moscow for the first time in 30 year. Founded in 1983 in New Jersey, the band was named for its vocalist Jon Bon Jovi. The band’s original lineup that also performed at the Moscow Music Peace Festival in 1989 included: Jon Bon Jovi on vocals, Ritchie Sambora on guitar, Alec John Such on bass, David Bryan on keyboard, Tico Tores on drums. The current lineup is made up of only three original band members - Jon Bon Jovi, Tico Tores and David Bryan. Bassist Hugh MacDonald has been with the band since the mid-90s, first as a session musician and in 2016 he became an official band member. Guitarist Phil X (or Phil Theofilos Xenidis) replaced Ritchie Sambora in the band in 2013. The concert lineup also includes second guitarist John Shanks and percussionist and backing vocalist Everett Bradley. Bon Jovi’s discography includes 13 studio albums. The latest one - "This House Is Not For Sale" - was released in 2016. In 2018, the renowned musical group was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
