US musician Jon Bon Jovi was celebrated this week, not for a new song, but for helping a woman in need, according to police.

The Grammy-winning rocker was shooting a video on Tuesday on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge in Nashville, Tennessee when he and another person saw a woman standing outside the guard railing of the bridge and helped her to safety, US entertainment outlet Deadline reported.

“A shout out to Jon Bon Jovi & his team for helping a woman on the Seigenthaler Ped Bridge Tue night,” the Nashville police department wrote on X on Wednesday.
