Bon Jovi cancels 2020 tour to help fans get ticket refunds

Bon Jovi decided to cancel the 2020 tour with Bryan Adams due to the coronavirus pandemic, explaining in a statement that he chose to cancel and not postpone the shows so that his fans can get their money back.

Bon Jovi said about canceling his 2020 tour to help fans get refunds:

“Due to the ongoing global pandemic, it is no longer feasible for Bon Jovi to tour this summer. Given these difficult times, we have made the decision to cancel the tour entirely. This will enable ticket holders to get refunds to help pay their bills or buy groceries. These are trying times.”

“You’ve always been there for us and we’ll always be there for you. We look forward to seeing everyone again on tour when we can all safely be together. We will continue to send out news and updates on Bon Jovi touring in the weeks and months to come.”

The band’s attitude was motivated by the fact that many companies that sell concert tickets refused to refund the value of the delayed shows, offering vouchers as compensation.

The musician also sang for kindergarten students recently during quarantine and will participate on Wednesday night (22) in an event alongside artists like Bruce Springsteen and Halsey to raise funds for the fight against the pandemic.
