Musicians Jon Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams recently tested positive for Covid-19 following which they had to cancel their respective scheduled events.
According to Variety, American singer, guitarist and the founder of the rock band Bon Jovi, Jon Bon Jovi, was scheduled to perform at Miami Beach on Saturday night for a fan event. The audience, who had already filed in for the event, were later informed that Bon Jovi will not be able to perform, reported 7News. His band members, even though they tested negative, did not perform too out of abundance of caution.
Speaking to Variety, a representative for Bon Jovi said, “Jon is fully vaccinated and feeling fine”.
Bon Jovi’s event Runaway with JBJ, was scheduled from October 29 to 31. Put on by Runaway Tours, the event included an acoustic storyteller performance, a question and answer session and a photo opportunity with Jon, in addition to a Halloween costume welcome party.
Early in the pandemic, Bon Jovi’s keyboardist Dave Bryan had also tested positive for Covid-19. Jon had also taken part in 2020’s ‘Mask Up’ campaign, which included around 30 billboards to be displayed across New Jersey in order to, “help the most vulnerable New Jersey populations affected during COVID from mental health issues to digital divide issues to food insecurity.”
