Backstage at New York's Madison Square Garden, Jon Bon Jovi gathers his bandmates together and makes a speech.
"Twenty-five years ago, almost to the week," he begins, referring to the group's first show at the venue, as a support act for ZZ Top.
"We are not supposed to still be here."

Zip forward 13 months from that concert - the last date of the band's Lost Highway tour - and Jon Bon Jovi is in London to meet the press.
