Bon Jovi has given fans a new tune to enjoy this holiday season.
The band just released the new song "Christmas Isn't Christmas," on which frontman Jon Bon Jovi laments how the holidays are not the same if a loved one isn't there.
"'Christmas Isn't Christmas' is a song that I wrote about family," the rocker shared in a statement. "The sentiment that Christmas really isn't Christmas without YOU which can bring up a lot of memories for people. I also liked to turn it around and know that because of you Christmas IS Christmas."
