Jon Bon Jovi just proved he’s a real-life hero too! While in Downtown Nashville for a music video shoot, the legendary rocker didn’t hesitate to approach a distressed woman on the Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. The woman had climbed over the railing and seemed to be considering a jump.
Thanks to footage shared by The Metro Nashville Police Department, the world got a glimpse of Jon’s life-saving act. Within moments of talking to the woman, Bon Jovi, along with another person, managed to coax her back over the rail and into a safe, life-saving embrace. Talk about being at the right place at the right time!
Police Chief John Drake praised Bon Jovi’s bravery, reinforcing the idea that we all play a role in keeping each other safe. Even Miranda Lambert chimed in on the red carpet, noting that this act of kindness is quintessentially Nashville.
Remember, everyday heroes walk among us, and sometimes they’re even rock stars! Check out the incredible video of Bon Jovi’s rescue, and if you or someone you know needs help, don’t hesitate to reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255).
