Jon Bon Jovi is an American icon. A rocker. Father to an actor. And now, you can add “hero” to the list!

Bon Jovi saved a woman from jumping off a Nashville bridge while he was filming a music video for his song “The People’s House”.

Bon Jovi was on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge in Nashville when he noticed a woman on the ledge, seemingly in a moment of crisis.

With some quick thinking, the “Livin’ On a Prayer” singer, along with others present, approached the woman. They engaged her in compassionate conversation.

The interaction played a crucial role in persuading her to come back to safety from the ledge over the Cumberland River.

Video shared on X by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department shows the rocker and another woman approaching the person as she appears ready to leap off the bridge.

The video also shows him helping her back over the railing and safely back onto the bridge. Just incredible!

A Love Note From His Future Wife

Jon Bon Jovi recently gave fans a glimpse of a love note written by his wife, Dorothea Hurley, in his senior high school yearbook.

It might just be where their relationship, which ultimately led to a 35-year marriage, started.

“John, write a sequel to ‘Bobby’s Girl’ but name it ‘She’s Johnny’s Now,’ love Dot,” the note reads.

“I just fell in love with the girl sitting next to me in history class,” the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer gushed.

“The People’s House” contains the following lyrics:

Mother, Father, I am broken
Barely breathin’, but I’m hopin’

Jon was able to provide that woman a little bit of hope. Let’s hope she gets the help she needs.
