Bon Jovi recall "fond memories" of London

Bon Jovi have revealed that they are enjoying being back in London.

The veteran band, who are in the middle of a 12-date run at The O2 arena, claimed that their return to the UK capital evokes "fond memories".

"It's a very successful place, one of the premier arenas in the world - so now to come back here and spend a month, which Richie and I thought of last June when we were here mixing the record, this was our idea of a summer getaway," frontman Jon told PA.

Bon Jovi - also made up of lead guitarist Richie Sambora, drummer Tico Torres and keyboardist David Bryan - opened the arena in 2007.
