The US singer was in the Nashville area shooting a music video on the pedestrian bridge.

Good to see a rockstar being a good human being.

 

[mansoor1980]

she got to keep the faith

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

At least some good news once in a while from celebrities.

 

[kruis]

She was a misunderstood runaway who wanted to go out in a blaze of glory, it was her life after all. Jon told her to never say goodbye, she just needed to keep the faith and he'd be there for her. Always.

 

[crobb2305]

Jon always seems like a decent human. what a legend

 

[ResilientBanana]

Not his song, but..

“I want you to step back from that ledge, my friend”

 

[Gp1]

She just gotta hold on what she got

They got each other and that's a lot for love.

Don't give it a shot!

Maybe she's just tired to works the diner all day, working for her man an bringing home her pay, for love.... For love...

Ps. Now "there's go my hero" for the real hero.

Read that he has crisis training/experience. He wasn't just relying on celebrity.

yea he did some sort of training when he opened the soul kitchen...

 

[Billbofet]

Very cool of him to help.

I posted this in the social media thread last night.

Super lucky it wasn't David Lee Roth

 

[John Marston]

I usually go on Ebay for an autograph but whatever works I guess.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I was expecting this scenario.

Kinda crazy seeing people casually walking on the bridge as one is standing on a ledge. As a New Yorker I am very familiar with the bystander effect, but there's barely anyone on that bridge... good on Bon Jovi for taking the initiative.

Edit: Just saw an extended video and there's a family of three that just walks right by her before Bon Jovi shows up...

But anyway, this whole story kinda reminds me of that James Doohan story

 

[Shadowplay1979]

Super lucky it wasn't David Lee Roth

Now i just pictured him walking up to that woman yelling "HUMMALABAYBALEZEEBALUBABLUHUMMALABYABALEEZEEBALEEBOP" and the woman automatically jumps back to safety

 

[mitch1971]

She should be thankful it wasn't raining, those bridges become slippery when wet.

 

[YCoCg]

Oh sure when Jon Bon Jovi talks them off a bridge he gets praised but when I do it I get called a monster just because I'm below them!

 

[Boozeroony]

Let's check the news in 9 months.

 

[AJUMP23]

She could have said "its my life" and I am going out in a "Blaze of Glory".


Since we are doing the song title thing.

 

[Toots]

Wow she was half way there...



WOOOOOh OOOOOOOh

 

[Mr Reasonable]

It's lucky he was there, that bridge is slippery when wet, etc.


Pretty surreal though, I'm sure. Imagine if you were a big fan.

Imagine if someone from a band you hated came over too. Chad Kroeger in the wrong place could be finishing people off.

 

[lughnasadh123]

"You think your life is bad? Have you heard my voice lately???"

Seriously good on him for helping someone out.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Bet she's pregnant now....

At least he didn’t go “whoaaaaa your halfway there”.

These goddamn onions in here man.... would you fuckers stop cooking?!?

[T-0800]

Ice Ice Baby and Pour Some Sugar On Me that was close. That's right all the good song puns were taken and I'm just saying nonsense.

I wonder how often celebrities get letters like that.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Poor woman, that’s awful.

Guess her anti depression pills were Bad Medicine.

 

[GymWolf]

I bet she was singing this when he tried to save her "it's my liiiiife and it's now or never, i don't want to live foreeeeever"

 

[Power Pro]

Can you imagine any of the idiots of modern Trek behaving like that? they'd probably call the police on the women for harassment.
