This marks Bon Jovi’s second career nomination for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They were previously nominated for the Class of 2011.

If history were to repeat itself, Bon Jovi should be rest assured that a spot in the Class of 2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is theirs! The previous top fan-vote getters in each of the last five years have secured a spot in the coveted Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
