In a heartwarming display of musical camaraderie and support for wounded veterans, Prince Harry and rock legend Jon Bon Jovi have teamed up to create a special single for the Invictus Games.
The dynamic duo was spotted at the iconic Abbey Road Studios, where they recorded a powerful rendition of Bon Jovi’s hit song “Unbroken.” The song, originally written to honor American veterans battling post-traumatic stress, has been gifted to Prince Harry to further his mission of supporting wounded soldiers through the Invictus Games.
Adding even more significance to the collaboration, the recording features the inspiring voices of the Invictus Games Choir, composed of servicemen and women whose resilience and spirit embody the very essence of the Games.
This musical partnership marks another milestone in Prince Harry’s unwavering commitment to the Invictus Games, a cause he holds close to his heart. Despite stepping back from his senior royal duties, Prince Harry remains dedicated to using the power of sport to inspire and uplift wounded veterans.
The collaboration came about after Prince Harry penned a heartfelt letter to Bon Jovi, expressing his admiration for the song’s message and its potential to raise awareness for the Invictus Games. Bon Jovi, known for his unwavering support of the military, readily agreed to participate, recognizing the profound impact music can have on healing and empowerment.

Following their studio session, the duo recreated the Beatles’ legendary Abbey Road album cover by walking across the famous crosswalk, a lighthearted moment that reflects their shared passion for music and its ability to unite people for a common cause.
The release of the single next month coincides with the launch of Bon Jovi’s latest album, further amplifying the song’s message of hope and resilience. The Invictus Games community and music enthusiasts alike eagerly anticipate this powerful collaboration, which promises to make a lasting impact and inspire countless individuals around the world.
While the world awaits the release of the full song, one can’t help but draw parallels between Bon Jovi’s lyrics and Prince Harry’s own journey. As he embarks on a new chapter in his life, stepping away from royal duties alongside his wife Meghan Markle, the lyrics of “Unbroken” resonate with a sense of resilience, determination, and an unwavering commitment to making a difference.
The collaboration between Prince Harry and Jon Bon Jovi not only shines a spotlight on the extraordinary courage of wounded veterans but also underscores the transformative power of music to heal, inspire, and unite people from all walks of life.
