Bon Jovi closed out their nine-night residency at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night with a surprise encore appearance from fellow New Jersey rock icon Bruce Springsteen, capping the run on a high note. The cameo gave fans a memorable send-off and offered reassurance that Jon Bon Jovi has recovered well from a bout of vocal trouble that had disrupted the residency just days earlier.

Springsteen played guitar and sang on Bon Jovi's "Who Says You Can't Go Home" before the pair closed the night with his own song "The Promised Land". The appearance came days after Bon Jovi cut short a previous MSG date at 14 songs when Jon was battling a sinus infection, telling fans to keep their ticket stubs in case of a make-up show, though none has been announced. Sunday's set ran to a full 19 songs, marking Bon Jovi's first extended run of live dates since Jon underwent vocal cord surgery. With the residency now finished, the band's only confirmed upcoming dates are five UK shows set for late August and early September.
