London: Jon Bon Jovi has snubbed the chance to play at the iconic Wembley Stadium in favour of a
show in Hyde Park here because it is just a short walk from the rock superstar's favourite hotel.
The 48-year-old's band Bon Jovi is set to play a gig at the venue in June next year as part of the Hard Rock Calling series of shows.The Blaze of Glory hitmaker admitted the band chose
the concert in Hyde Park as it was near to their favoured central London hotel - as opposed to Wembley, which is in the far north-west of the city, reported Daily Star.
"We could have sold out Wembley Stadium no problem but Hyde Park is right out the back door of the hotel I stay at in London. "The traffic of getting to Wembley from central London
I've done enough times. I like to walk across the park, it's that simple," said Jovi.
And the singer hinted he may make a surprise appearance at the legendary Glastonbury festival in 2011 - as it is the same weekend as the Hard Rock Calling gig. "I've always toyed with the idea of playing there. If they don't have another old-timer like me, I'd love to go out
and see it and perhaps do a set, sure."
