Recovered from One Wild Night round 2? Took a while, didn't it! So did this issue, you'll be no doubt thinking but I'm not going to apologise for that. There's just no way I was putting the June issue out without all those reviews and accounts of your Crush experiences and I hope you think it has been worth the wait. I have included all the show articles you sent me as I did last year and maybe you'll be thinking one would have done. But a Bon Jovi show is a magical experience and if you went to the trouble of sending me your story then you deserve to have it in here. And if anyone wants to disagree with that -- tough!

I do hope you managed to get to at least one of the UK shows. General opinion was, they were even better than last year. We had a great time and many thanks to all of you who managed to introduce yourselves. It's always good to put a face to the name. Thanks also to those who tried but didn't quite make it for various reasons -- maybe next time!

Talking of next time... let's hope they announce more shows soon and give us something to look forward to. Yes, I know it's greedy but we need something to keep us going in these hard times. Don't know about you but I felt very down after the tour was over, like a child opening all its presents and then there's nothing left under the tree...

Quick, somebody start a new tour rumour!

Enjoy your new issue,

Bren
