Jon Bon Jovi interrupted his concert Thursday at Madison Square Garden after an hour and a half of performance. The 64-year-old singer explained to the audience that he could not continue due to nasal discomfort that affected his voice.
“Don’t throw away your tickets, I’m going to find a solution… I’m going to have to relax for a while and slow down for a night,” he said from the stage, according to videos posted on social networks.
The performance was part of the band’s “Forever Tour” residency that began on July 7. So far they had offered eight concerts without setbacks.
Public support
Far from causing annoyance, the announcement provoked an applause. Attendees wished him a speedy recovery. The group’s representative later confirmed that the cause was a sinus infection.
Bon Jovi returned to the stage this year after a six-year hiatus. The current lineup includes three original members: Tico Torres (drums), David Bryan (keyboard) and Jon Bon Jovi himself, as well as Hugh McDonald, John Shanks, Phil X and Everett Bradley.
The singer promised to reschedule the entire date. Tickets will remain valid for the new show, which will be announced soon.
