The characters are standing and talking to the woman standing on the edge. After a while she turns towards them, and gets help to get back over the fence. Shortly afterwards, she gets a good hug from the artist, before they walk off the bridge together. It was the police who released the surveillance video which is supposed to show the incident. In a short statement they sent out together with the video, it says that they would like to give a “shout out” to Bon Jovi and his people, writes the BBC. – Bon Jovi helped to persuade the woman to come down from the bridge ledge and to safety.

According to the local newspaper The Tennessean, Bon Jovi was in the process of recording a music video for the song “The People’s House”. The bridge was still open to the public while the recording took place. The police say the dramatic incident happened on Tuesday at the Seigenthaler footbridge in Nashville, the capital of the state of Tennessee. The music video recording for Jon Bon Jovi was more dramatic than anyone had thought beforehand.

This is what Lars Mehlum, head of the National Center for Suicide Research and Prevention, told news. – If possible, you should also try to get help from the police or other emergency services, because they often have expertise in how to act in such situations, says Mehlum. – We all need each other to keep us safe, said police chief John Drake in a statement after the incident. Long career The artist has not wanted to comment on the incident, out of consideration for the woman he helped. He is best known as the vocalist in the rock group Bon Jovi, which was formed in 1983. Among their best-known songs are Livin’ on a prayer (1987) and You give love a bad name (1986). Jon Bon Jovi has also had a long solo career as an artist, and has also played in several films.
