Jon Bon Jovi talked someone out of taking her own life in a video shared by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department on Wednesday.
The heart-wrenching video — which was recorded Tuesday evening and shared on YouTube — shows the “Livin’ on a Prayer” hitmaker slowly approaching a woman on the famous John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge in Nashville, Tenn.
He happened to be filming a music video for his song “People’s House” when he and his team noticed the woman standing on the outer ledge of the bridge and clenching onto the handrails.
