Jon Bon Jovi joins hands with Jason Kelce and Philly Specials for a cover of ‘Run Rudolph Run’
Jon Bon Jovi and Jason Kelce, together with Philly Specials, have worked on a cover of a Christmas classic Run Rudolph Run.
For those unversed, The Philly Specials consists of Philadelphia Eagles alum Jason Kelce and current players Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata.
The new rendition of the song, released Friday, December 20, shows the Specials and Bon Jovi, 62, making Chuck Berry’s upbeat track even more cheery.
“SURPRISE! Just when you thought the party was over, we’ve got one last gift for you…” the group captioned an Instagram post debuting the single. “Run Rudolph Run featuring Jason, Jordan, Lane, AND the legendary @jonbonjovi is OUT NOW! Stream it, download it, and let’s end this Philly Special season with a bang!”
Jason, 37, Mailata, 27, and Johnson, 34, launched the Philly Specials in 2022 and released their debut album A Philly Special Christmas that December.
Classic songs on the album include Blue Christmas, Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) and Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
The group later released their sophomore album, A Philly Special Christmas Special, featuring This Christmas, Dominic the Donkey, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, and Fairytale of Philadelphia, featuring Jason’s brother Travis.
This holiday season, the trio dropped their third album, A Philly Special Christmas Party with a song featuring Stevie Nicks titled Maybe This Christmas as well as Santa Drives an Astrovan with Mt. Joy.
Travis, 35, and Boyz II Men also joined his brother’s group on A Philly Special Christmas Party for the song It’s Christmas Time (In Cleveland Heights), paying tribute to the Kelce brothers’ hometown.
