Rock and Roll legend Jon Bon Jovi is being called a hero after he saved a woman in crisis when he talked her out of jumping off a bridge.
Bon Jovi was filming a music video on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge in Nashville, TN on Tuesday when he noticed the woman. Bon Jovi and one other person approached the woman standing on the ledge and continued talking to her until they were able coax her off the ledge and pull her to safety.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department shared footage from a surveillance video from the bridge and posted on X: “A shout out to @jonbonjovi and his team for helping a woman on the Seigenthaler Ped Bridge Tue night. Bon Jovi helped persuade her to come off the ledge over the Cumberland River to safety.”
Bon Jovi is said to have had extensive training speaking to individuals in crisis through his JBJ Soul Foundation. The JBJ Soul Foundation deals with people with issues including hunger, homelessness, poverty, rebuilding pride, among additional issues.
Bon Jovi was recognized in February as the MusiCares Person of the Year for his philanthropic efforts.
