Jon Bon Jovi abruptly ended his concert at Madison Square Garden on July 23, after telling fans he was struggling to perform. The rock star reportedly stopped the show after performing the band's 1986 hit 'Livin' on a Prayer,' telling the crowd, "I'm sorry, I'm hurt and you're not getting the best of me."
He also urged fans to keep their ticket stubs, promising to "figure out" a rescheduled performance.
In a statement shared to Page Six, Bon Jovi's representatives said the concert ended after about 90 minutes because the singer had been battling a sinus infection. The performance was the eighth of the band's nine-show residency at Madison Square Garden, with organizers saying more information about the rescheduled show would be announced soon.
