A third fan theorized: "What if every single success @jonbonjovi has had — every hit song, gold record, grammy, sold out concert, every one of those million faces he saw and rocked, was all one piece of a far greater design to put him on that bridge, at that moment, so he could save that woman’s life?"
"Jon Bon Jovi greatest rock star in the world and now hero," a fourth fan noted.
The scary experience occurred just one day before the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, which saw Bon Jovi's song "Legendary" receive a nomination for Best Rock Video — though Lenny Kravitz won the award for his song "Humans."
