“I’m sorry, I’m hurt and you’re not getting the best of me,” he told attendees, an eyewitness shared with Page Six.
“Don’t throw away your ticket stubs, I’m gonna figure something out, OK?” the Grammy winner continued before exiting the stage. “Just hold onto it, we’ll figure out how to reschedule.”
Bon Jovi announced the Forever Tour in October 2025.
“There is a lot of joy in this announcement — joy that we can share these nights together with our amazing fans and joy that the band can be together,” the frontman wrote in a statement.
“I am lucky enough to be able to hold a light out to the audience each night and stand in their reflection for a tremendous collective experience — I get to stand in the WE of our concerts.”
The tour is the band’s first since Bon Jovi underwent vocal cord surgery in 2022.
