Bon Jovi Tour: Seems like there is no stopping Jon Bon Jovi from getting more accolades. The legendary rock band from the 80's have once again topped Billboard's rock rich list of annual earnings, raking in an estimated total of $29,436,801 in 2013.

The band who is popular for their massive-hit singles, 'Living on A Prayer', 'You Give Love A Bad Name', and 'Bed of Roses, have topped the cash chart for three of the previous six years, and have never been far from the summit. Their return to the head of the list comes despite the absence of guitarist Richie Sambora following a dispute with frontman Jon Bon Jovi.

According to Billboard; "It's no surprise Bon Jovi's immensely popular stable of songs continues to drive strong digital track sales, with more than 1.5m downloads producing nearly $300,000 in royalties. Streaming royalties are also catching up, approaching $150,000.

"But this is a touring band - road-warrior revenue streams include robust merch sales, likely in the eight-figure range. Fans have spent an estimated $2m per year in online merch purchases."

Currently, they are promoting a massive 208 page photo book called BonJoviWORK that comprises exclusive photos from their humble beginnings to where they are now. This can be seen in twitter account, Bon Jovi(@BonJovi).

Bon Jovi was set to perform at Mexico City, Mexico on September 10, 2014 but was later cancelled.
