While Nicki and Mariah are busy cat fighting behind the scenes, legendary rock group Bon Jovi will take the stage on American Idol!

The announcement came today from Fox that Bon Jovi will perform during American Idol’s live results show on Thursday, March 14. Bon Jovi is expected to perform their latest single “Because We Can” from their upcoming album What About Now.

This week, the American Idol semifinalists move to Las Vegas for live “sudden death” performances where the top 10 guys and top 10 girls perform live and are told whether they will advance to the next round of live shows. Tonight, the top 10 girls will perform, while tomorrow is saved for the top 10 guys.

Bon Jovi have been making music for nearly three decades and continue to dominate iTunes sales. Their latest single, “Because We Can,” hit the Top 5 on iTunes in 24 countries and reached No. 1 in 12 countries. Earlier this month, Bon Jovi returned to the road with tour dates in the USA, Canada, Europe, Japan, South Africa, Brazil and Australia.

Will you be tuning in to American Idol on March 12 to catch Bon Jovi performing their latest single “Because We Can”? Though ratings continue to decline for the hit reality music competition, it still wins its time slot every week.
