I haven't talked to anybody about it, I don't think, but don't throw away your ticket stubs.
I'm going to figure something out, okay?
Don't worry.
Just hold on a little bit.
We'll figure out how to reschedule.
Alright?
Oh my God, he's never said this!
I feel great.
I love you, John!
It's so great to see you!
I'll see you again soon.
John Bon Jovi is living on a prayer that he'll be able to take the stage at Madison Square
Garden again soon.
After the singer abruptly ended one of his shows mid-set.
The 64-year-old rock star was playing night eight of his nine-night residency at the Garden
when he had to stop after he sang the hit, Living on a Prayer.
An eyewitness tells Page Six he told the crowd,
I'm sorry, I'm hurt, and you're not getting the best of me.
He urged ticket holders to hang on to their stubs, promising he would figure something
out to reschedule.
Bon Jovi told the crowd he had to, quote, cool it for the night.
In an official statement to Page Six, his representative said on his behalf,
John Bon Jovi spoke from stage and told fans he has been battling a sinus infection, which
led to the show's early ending.
It went on,
As part of the Bon Jovi residency at Madison Square Garden, John has said numerous times
that it has been a joy to return to live shows for the band.
Updated information will be available shortly.
Fans on social media are showing the rocker love, calling it heartbreaking, but saying
they were still blown away by the show.
The Forever Tour marks Bon Jovi's first return to touring since his vocal cord surgery in
2022.
Then, in a 2024 interview with the Sunday Times, he revealed he may never sing live
again after the procedure.
But just last month, ahead of the MSG concerts, the rock star told People magazine he was
fully recovered.
The ninth and what was supposed to be the final night of Bon Jovi's residency is set
for Sunday, July 26.
