As he kicked off the intro to their riveting tune “Who Says You Can’t Go Home”, Bon Jovi invited his duet partner Nettles on stage to take their fiery performance up a notch! The country singer was no shortage of energy and searing talent, as she interjected,

“Like a blind dog without a bone/ I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone/ I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold.”

Fans were elated watching the two stars put on the performance of a lifetime! It seems that the race cars on the track weren’t the only things thrilling the crowd, as these two performers pulled off an experience that brought energy to a whole new track!

The Memorable Duo

The unique duet took the charts by storm, snagging the no.1 spot and holding an admirable reign. Originally intended as a duet with Keith Urban, Bon Jovi was adamant about performing the song with a female vocalist, eventually recording with Nettles. Bon Jovi’s solo version of the song was released on his 2005 album Have A Nice Day.
