Jon Bon Jovi Responsible For Saving A Woman’s Life In Nashville

Jon Bon Jovi is credited for saving a woman’s life in downtown Nashville on Tuesday, Sept 10. 

According to WSMV4, the critically acclaimed rocker and frontman of the band, Bon Jovi, happened to be walking on the Pedestrian Bridge around 6 p.m. when he noticed a woman standing near the edge of the bridge. The report indicates that she appeared to be contemplating jumping when Bon Jovi stepped in.

He apparently had a conversation with the woman and ended up being able to persuade her off the ledge. The Nashville Fire Department and the Metro Nashville Police Department were called to the scene to further assist. 

Metro Nashville Polive later released a video of the incident. In the clip, the award-winning rock singer can be seen making his way over to the distraught woman and speaking to her as she is standing on the ledge about to jump. They engage in conversation and eventually, Bon Jovi and a member of his team help pull her over the railing. After a few moments, they embrace in a hug.

“It takes all of us to help keep each other safe,” Metro Police Chief John Drake shared in a statement on Wednesday.

Stopped By JBJ’s Nashville For Surprise Set

Later that night, the “Livin’ On A Prayer” singer joined several of his bandmates in performing a pop-up show in his own bar, which is situated on Music City’s bustling Lower Broadway. They surprised the packed crowd by getting on stage to perform some of their hits including “You Give Love A Bad Name” and “This Ain’t A Love Song.”

JBJ’s Nashville sits at 405 Broadway among the strip of celebrity owned bars such as Garth Brooks’ Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk, Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row, Jason Aldean’s Kitchen Rooftop + Bar and more. The five-story establishment is 37,000 square feet, making it the tallest and second largest bar by square footage on Lower Broad. Throughout the five stories, guests can enjoy two outdoor rooftop decks with stunning panoramic views of the downtown area.

The Multi-Level Establishment Opened In The Spring Of 2024

This new venture opened in the Spring of 2024 and comes in partnership with BPH Hospitality, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nashville-based Big Plan Holdings, led by Josh and Tara Joseph. Bon Jovi claimed his space in Music City as a way to honor his long history with music and the impact the community has had on his career over the years. 

“Love this town and we’re friends with so many of our neighbors. We’ve done a lot of collaborating over the years. We were the first rock band to ever have a No. 1 country single with ‘Who Says You Can’t Go Home’ with Jennifer Nettles on her first record,” Bon Jovi told Country Now prior to the grand opening. “So it feels like we finally have a place on the strip that we can call home.”

One of the group’s founding members, David Bryan, added, “The amount of work that’s happened over the years, from the planning stages to the building stages, to actually being on the stage is pretty amazing.”
