A report by Roger Friedman’s Showbiz 411, guitarist Richie Sambora will be on hand when Jon Bon Jovi is honored as the 2024 MusiCares Person Of The Year on Friday, February 2 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
More, the Person Of The Year benefit usually sees “a bunch of stars play(ing) the honoree’s songs, and “sometimes the honoree himself or herself takes the stage, too,” opening the door to a possibility of a Bon Jovi mini-reunion at the event.
It was announced back in October, that MusiCares had named Jon Bon Jovi as the 2024 MusiCares Person Of The Year. The Grammy-winning frontman and founding member of American rock band Bon Jovi is the honoree of the 33rd annual Person Of The Year benefit gala, which will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Friday, February 2, two nights before the 2024 Grammys.
“I’m truly humbled to be this year’s MusiCares honoree,” Jon Bon Jovi said in a statement. “MusiCares’ work with music professionals is vitally important in creating much-needed support and wellness programs that cultivate a healthier and more vibrant community for us all. Philanthropic work has been a cornerstone of my life and has always run in tandem to my music career and achievements. Nearly two decades ago when I formed the JBJ Soul Foundation and JBJ Soul Kitchens, I saw firsthand and continue to see today the impact of charitable, community-based work. I know this for sure: Helping one’s community is helping one’s self.”
