The two are scheduled to get together on Friday at the iconic Abbey Road Studios, where Harry will sit in on a recording session. The meeting will beone of the last engagementsHarry will attend as a “senior member” of the royal family after hisbombshell decisionto step back from public duties in January.
“I’m gonna hand him a tambourine and see what he’s got going,” Bon Jovi joked about their forthcoming appointment.
The Grammy winner continued, addressing Harry’s new status moving following his royal exit, “I’ve been asking, ‘What do I do? How do I address him?’ And then I realized I’m gonna call him ‘The Artist Formerly Known as Prince.'”
“My idea and letter to him at the time was, ‘I’d like to give you the single. I would love to givesomething back to the peopleyou care [about] … but I want them to be the singers,'” he said. “It’s the ‘We Are the World’ for this song. I’ve got 12 veterans. They’ll sing the chorus to the existing track, which I did, and then it’ll be on the new record.”
He added, “We’ll release it as a single here in time for their games and hopefully raise them some money.”

The details of this new organization will be shared later in the year.
“In general, the themes of their cause related work will remain unchanged, which includes the Commonwealth, community, youth empowerment and mental health, collectively.”
