Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
Jon Bon Jovi ended his 23 July Madison Square Garden concert early after about 90 minutes because of a sinus infection. He apologised to the audience, said he felt otherwise well, and asked fans to keep their ticket stubs while arrangements are made to address the shortened performance.
The concert was part of Bon Jovi’s Forever Tour and his run of shows at MSG, following his return to live performance after vocal surgery four years earlier. A representative confirmed the infection was responsible, but no replacement date or details of compensation for ticket-holders were announced.

Jon Bon Jovi is the lead singer of the American rock band Bon Jovi, known for hits including Livin’ on a Prayer and It’s My Life. The group has been performing since the 1980s and has remained a major live act, with Bon Jovi also pursuing solo work.
Madison Square Garden is a large indoor arena in New York City that hosts major concerts and sporting events. A residency-style run means an artist plays several dates at the same venue rather than travelling between cities for each show.
The current tour is significant because it follows surgery on Bon Jovi’s vocal cords several years ago. Sinus infections can affect the nose, throat and voice, which may make sustained singing difficult.
