City’s police department thanks rock singer after he is pictured talking to and embracing a woman on the Seigenthaler pedestrian bridge

Jon Bon Jovi has been praised by Nashville’s police department after the rock star helped to talk a distressed woman off the edge of a bridge. The Bon Jovi founder and frontman, 62, released his 16th studio album with the group earlier this year, Forever, which reached the US and UK Top 5. Bon Jovi is known for his social conscience: as a philanthropist he has helped those on low incomes, opening four outlets of his Soul Kitchen restaurant with a pay-what-you-can scheme, as well as funding housing and health initiatives.
