Los Angeles, July 20 :  Singer Jon Bon Jovi won't judge the next season of singing reality show "American Idol" as he is working on his next album, a source said.

Singer Jennifer Lopez had earlier expressed her desire to see him or Mick Jagger in her place as a judge.

"Jon wouldn't commit to anything unless he can give 100 percent. With planning for the next album already underway, he's focused on the band," tmz.com quoted a source as saying.

"With all systems go for a new album and a mega-tour on the horizon, Jon wouldn't be able to give those aspiring singers the guidance they deserve," the source added.
