Bon Jovi 'to visit homeless on tour'

Jon Bon Jovi has revealed that he will visit homeless shelters on his 'Circle' tour.

The Toronto Sun says that Bon Jovi has decided to visit the centres as part of his work for the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, which aims to fight homelessness.

"I've spent the last quarter of a century touring, going from arena-stadium to hotel back to arena-stadium-hotel," Bon Jovi explained.

"This time, because of my foundation's work over the last six years building affordable housing, on my days off and when the opportunity arises... I will go do shelters and try to learn more about the issue and how to combat it."

Bon Jovi added that he wasn't mature enough to set up the foundation any earlier.

"I don't think I was ready for it," he said. "When you're a boy in a rock band, you want to go out and see the world and do all the great things you're supposed to do when you join a rock band.

"Now there's another aspect to it. There's just more to be said and done, and the difference that can be felt on the trail that you've made."
