Overview
- Bon Jovi closed the nine-night Madison Square Garden run Sunday, July 26, when Bruce Springsteen joined the band for two-song encores of “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” and “The Promised Land.”
- The July 23 concert had been cut short after roughly 90 minutes because Jon Bon Jovi was battling a sinus infection, a band representative confirmed to outlets at the time.
- Fan-shot videos and social posts documented Springsteen’s surprise entrance and the performances, including Bon Jovi tossing a harmonica after it proved to be the wrong key.
- The band will resume the Forever Tour in the U.K. on August 28 in Edinburgh and no official make-up date has been announced for the shortened July 23 show.
- The residency served as a high-profile return after Bon Jovi’s 2022 vocal cord surgery and the finale underscored the artists’ long New Jersey ties and the tour’s renewed momentum for fans.
