Jon Bon Jovi was in the right place at the right time on Tuesday when he helped stop a woman from jumping off a bridge in Nashville, Tennessee.
The “Livin’ on a Prayer” singer happened to be filming a music video on the Seigenthal pedestrian bridge when he saw a woman in a “moment of crisis,” Fox News Digital learned.
“Thank you to @jonbonjovi and his team who helped a woman on the Seigenthaler Ped Bridge Tuesday night,” Metro Nashville Police officials shared on X. “Bon Jovi helped persuade her to come down from the edge above the Cumberland River to safety.”

Chief John Drake added in the statement: “We all have to do our part to protect each other.”
Bon Jovi is used to helping others. He founded the JBJ Soul Foundation in 2006 with the goal of “recognizing and maximizing the human potential of those affected by hunger, poverty and homelessness by offering assistance in establishing programs that provide food and affordable housing while supporting social services and job training programs.”
