Surveillance Shows Jon Bon Jovi Stopping Woman From Jumping Off Bridge in Nashville
A young woman’s attempted suicide on a bridge in Nashville was interrupted at the last minute by an unlikely hero.
She was halfway there, then “Livin’ on a Prayer” singer Jon Bon Jovi appeared at her side and managed to talk her out of the life-ending decision.
Pardon the pun.
The scene was released in local surveillance camera footage by the Nashville Police Department. Bon Jovi and a small crew were filming a portion of a video for “The People’s House” on the upcoming Bon Jovi album Forever.
That’s when he noticed that a woman had climbed beyond the rails of the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge and was looking down at the long drop into the Cumberland River.
In the video, Bon Jovi and another member of his crew slowly approach before arriving at the young woman’s side. He leans over the railing and begins to speak some more, while his colleague steps behind her and begins to touch her shoulder.
The potential disaster appears to conclude with the young woman turning around and hugging Bon Jovi, before they help her back over the edge.
