Bon Jovi ended its Madison Square Garden concert early on 23 July after Jon Bon Jovi said a sinus infection had left him unable to continue. The disruption matters because it occurred during the band’s return to touring after a four-year break prompted by the singer’s vocal problems.

The show stopped around 90 minutes into the set, with Jon Bon Jovi asking fans to retain their ticket stubs while the band considers rescheduling arrangements. It was part of a nine-date New York residency that began on 7 July, following his vocal-cord surgery and reported recovery; the final Madison Square Garden date remains scheduled for Sunday before European shows in August and September.
