Bon Jovi offering limited Notre Dame-themed edition of new album

Music and higher education come together.

There are so many notable football names connected to Notre Dame you might forgot the university has celebrity fans.

The members of the band Chicago are among the most notable, but another is legendary rocker Jon Bon Jovi.

The band Bon Jovi celebrated its 40th anniversary a year ago. Now, it wants to give Irish fans an opportunity to share in its upcoming album “Forever” in a special way.

The album will be released June 7, but Irish fans can preorder a Notre Dame-themed limited edition of that album on the band’s website. In fact, the university itself is promoting this limited edition because this is the result of a partnership between the school and the band.

So if you or someone you know loves both the Irish and Bon Jovi, this is the perfect gift. Hopefully, you have someone in your life worth buying it for.

Watch: Notre Dame football releases hype video for Sun Bowl

Get hyped one last time for 2023!

The 2023 football season comes to an end Friday for Notre Dame as the Fighting Irish are in El Paso to take on Oregon State.  A win would mean 10 on the year for Notre Dame, something they’re looking to do again after accomplishing the feat each year from 2017-2021 but failing to in Marcus Freeman’s debut campaign a year ago.

Notre Dame will be without much of their 2023 production due to opt-outs for various reasons.  Despite that, the Irish still appear very much in tune with their head coach in planning on finishing the year with that 10th victory.

As the Notre Dame media team has done all year they released a hype video the day before the game.  Check it out below as it might just be their best work of the season:

Bon Jovi dishes on his Bills bid: ‘I will never go back to Buffalo’

Jon Bon Jovi says he will never go back to Buffalo, says again he did not want to move the Bills.

Jon Bon Jovi is not a fan of Buffalo, NY.

Confirmed.

The rock star has his connection to the Queen City because of Buffalo Bills. As the story goes, current owners Terry and Kim Pegula decided to out-bid everyone from the rocker to the President en route to obtaining ownership of the team.

But also involved in that tale is Bon Jovi and Donald Trump. Back in 2014, Bon Jovi was viewed as the “evil empire” when the club was put up for sale. He wanted to own the Bills and move the team to Toronto, right? GQ Magazine previously disclosed how Trump, at the time, was involved in a plan of sorts to put that narrative out there when it might not have been totally true.

On Friday, GQ has now dropped some updated feelings on that whole scenario with help Bon Jovi himself. We’ve got two interesting things to note from his latest thoughts on the Bills and Buffalo.

First, he again says there were no intentions by him to move the Bills to Toronto. Of course, we only really have his word to go off of, but he says “I swear to you on a stack of Bibles” he didn’t want to move the Bills … adding he told other investors involved in his bid: “We’re not gonna get [the Bills] unless we keep this here.”

More notably from his GQ interview, Bon Jovi is clearly not over how things went down. Fans did have a distain for his attempt to purchase the team with a group of investors who were from Toronto. And because of that, you probably won’t be see him preforming at KeyBank Center or Bills Stadium any time soon.

“I won’t ever go back to the city of Buffalo,” Bon Jovi told GQ. “You will never see my face in Buffalo ever. I have knocked it off the map.”

… And that’s that…

Onto the Chiefs.
