Jon Bon Jovi abruptly ends Madison Square Garden concert
The “Bad Medicine” singer was about 90 minutes into the eighth of his nine-show residency at the Garden as part of his Forever Tour when he opted to pull the plug, People reported. He finished performing his 1986 hit “Livin’ On a Prayer” alongside Train front man Pat Monahan before revealing to the audience that he’d been struggling throughout the concert and would not be able to continue. “I’m sorry, I’m hurt and you’re not getting the best of me,” he said in videos shared online.
