Bon Jovi Play Ball (and Music)

E! Online, Jun 30, 2008 10:00 am PDT
For those who want Bon Jovi dead or alive, a third option has suddenly come into play: free.

Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and those other three guys that make up the wallpaper band are following in the footsteps of Chris Martin's crew, announcing plans to treat fans to a free concert in New York's Central Park on July 12.

The gig, held in conjunction with Major League Baseball, will be part of the pomp and circumstance surrounding the July 15 All-Star game at Yankee Stadium.

As it is, the Jersey boys are narrowly missing out on a double-header of their own, as they wrap up their current 10-date U.S. tour at Madison Square Garden, with their final two shows set for July 14 and 15.
