Jon Bon Jovi the hero. The singer reportedly helped save a woman who was hanging off a bridge in Nashville.
According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, the 62-year-old Bon Jovi frontman was filming a music video around 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday (September 10) on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge when he saw the woman hanging off the ledge.
Jon (Bon Jovi) approached the woman who appeared to be getting ready to end her life by jumping off the bridge and spoke with her and convinced her not to commit suicide. He eventually helped her back onto the pedestrian walkway and gave her a hug before they walked off together.
A shout out to @jonbonjovi & his team for helping a woman on the Seigenthaler Ped Bridge Tue night. Bon Jovi helped persuade her to come off the ledge over the Cumberland River to safety. "It takes all of us to help keep each other safe,"–Chief John Drake https://t.co/1YejKJ2WgM

OUT FREAKIN STANDING…..
After my 2nd tour to Iraq, I came home to a situation that had me to the same point. It was someone who reached out that helped me, and helped me get the help that I needed. This isn’t a superstar seeking attention. This is a human being reaching out in a time of need. I wish this woman the best and hope she finds that life can get better. Well Done, Sir…. WELL DONE!
