Bon Jovi thrilled die-hard fans at a London pizza joint on Friday, offering them an exclusive sneak peek of their upcoming album, Forever.

Jon Bon Jovi, along with bandmates Tico Torres and David Bryan, were in the city to promote their forthcoming Disney+ docuseries, Thank You, and Goodnight, when they decided to treat some lucky fans to a taste of what's to come before the album's official release on June 7.

Explaining why they picked Homeslice to host their listening party, Jon Bon Jovi shared: “While writing Slippery When Wet in Sayreville, New Jersey, there was a pizza place next to the studio and we would ask the kids who frequented the pizzeria for their feedback on the music we were making.

“It was one of the smartest things we ever did.

“Fast forward to now, we’re doing it again in London to play the new album Forever for select fans. Sharing the new music with fans before it comes out in June is pretty special.”

Across town, supermodel Leomie Anderson stepped out in style as she joined fellow model and activist Munroe Bergdorf to celebrate Bistrotheque’s 20th anniversary in partnership with Tanqueray No.TEN.

The runway star, 31, looked sensational in a striking backless black maxi dress while Bergdorf, 36, dazzled in a silver sequin mini dress.

Other guests in attendance at the star-studded soiree, which was hosted by Lulu Kennedy, included model Neelam Gill, stylist Harry Lambert, Katie Grand, content creator Abby Roberts, Chet Lo and Craig Green.

Elsewhere, Chloe Stroll made her UK debut at The Arts Club in London’s Mayfair.

The Canadian singer-songwriter’s intimate gig saw her perform seven original songs Thin Air, Never Get Enough, Homesick, Love in the Dark, Water Over Sand and her recent single Dizzy.

To close her set, Stroll delivered a captivating rendition of Lewis Capaldi’s Forever before expressing her heartfelt gratitude to the audience, remarking: “It has been so fun and amazing to share my music with you, so truly thank you so much for being here.”
