Rock legend Jon Bon Jovi became a real-life hero when he saved a woman attempting to jump off a Nashville bridge. While filming a music video around 6:00 p.m. on September 10, the 62-year-old BON JOVI frontman spotted the woman dangling from the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, seemingly about to end her life. Without hesitation, Bon Jovi approached her, spoke gently, and convinced her not to jump. In a remarkable act of compassion, he helped her back to safety, hugged her, and walked away with her. Both the Nashville Police and Fire Departments arrived on the scene, with surveillance footage of the dramatic rescue released later.

It’s hard not to be shocked and awed by Jon Bon Jovi’s quick thinking and humanity, proving that he’s not just a rock star on stage but a true hero in life.

A shout out to @jonbonjovi & his team for helping a woman on the Seigenthaler Ped Bridge Tue night. Bon Jovi helped persuade her to come off the ledge over the Cumberland River to safety. "It takes all of us to help keep each other safe,"–Chief John Drake https://t.co/1YejKJ2WgM
