Jon Bon Jovi Honored at 2024 MusiCares Gala by Bruce Springsteen, Shania Twain & More

The Bon Jovi frontman was joined by Paul McCartney, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Jelly Roll and more at the Feb. 2 salute.

Among those singing along in the audience were Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen, MSNBC host Ari Melber, frequent Bon Jovi collaborator Desmond Child, Rita Wilson, Carly Pearce, Gayle King, Nile Rodgers and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul.
