The āItās My Lifeā artist then began jumping alongside van Buuren as he played his remix of Bon Joviās 1992 hit āKeep the Faith,ā and then Jon stood on the decks to sing along to the remix, which featured the āLose the Feelingā artist putting a bombastic kickdrum to the āeverybody needs somebody to loveā segment of the track.
āUltra make some noise for this legend Mr. Jon Bon Jovi!ā van Buuren screamed mid-song, as the electric song built up and pyro elements took over the performance.

āItās an incredible honor to remix this track and to share the stage with Jon Bon Jovi, as Iāve been a massive fan for years,āĀ the electronic artistĀ toldĀ BillboardĀ in a statement.Ā āThis track is different from anything Iāve ever released before, and no better place to first share it with you all than on the Ultra main stage.ā
van Buuren commemorated their team-up on Monday withĀ an Instagram post, which featured video footage of him introducing the rocker and them behind the decks, a photo of the duo standing behind the decks and an image of the pair in front of a high-rise in Miami.
āCanāt actually believe this happened! Thank you so muchĀ @jonbonjoviĀ fromĀ @bonjoviĀ for coming on stage with me to play my remix of āKeep The Faithā š Iāll forever remember this moment!ā the āSucker for Loveā performer captioned the post.
As Bon Jovi gears up toĀ release its 16th studio album,Ā Legendary, the Grammy winner has been considering whether it is in the best interest of his health to tour again after undergoingĀ vocal cord surgeryĀ in 2022.
During a radio interview earlier this month onĀ Mix 104.1 Boston, Jon explained that heās āstill recovering from a major surgery,ā butĀ the āgoalā is to tourĀ once heās able to give fans the best show possible.
When asked about his plans to promote the forthcoming LP on the road, he admitted, āI donāt know about a tour. It is my desire to do a tour next year, but Iām just still recovering from a major surgery.ā
