Jon Bon Jovi was halfway there — then came the COVID test.
The fully vaccinated star backed out of a Miami Beach concert minutes before he was supposed to take the stage because of a surprise positive COVID-19 test.
The Jersey-born rocker had been scheduled to play at the Loews South Beach for an acoustic Halloween performance, when the “Living on a Prayer” singer’s brother took the stage with the bad news just as the show was about to kick off.
Matt Bongiovi announced that Jon had tested positive for the virus after the band had all taken a rapid test, according to the Asbury Park Press.
Bongiovi reportedly told disappointed fans that Jon “feels great” but would be going “to bed” instead of performing, according to WSVN.
A rep for Bon Jovi confirmed the positive test to APP and told the paper that he is “fully vaccinated and feeling fine.”
The other members of the band, who tested negative, stayed and played their set for the crowd.

Well, he did have the "Sniffles," right?
Ample justification to cancel a million-dollar concert, right?
(Side note: How many millions of Americans have ever been home with a cold, yet gotten a phone call from the boss that they simply have to come in - if even only for an hour - because they're desperately needed?)
Regards,
Hope he does not entirely coincidentally get “a short illness.”
It’s my life, it’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive
(It’s my life) My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, “I did it my way”
I just wanna live while I’m alive
It’s my life
Ahh…. yet another “case”.
But the vaccine is effective and safe…bahahahaha…
I imagine this is going to be a fast recovery. His lungs have to be in incredible shape given his career.
...told disappointed fans that Jon “feels great” ...
Gosh, it is almost like he had no symptoms or such mild symptoms he didn't even know he was "sick." Yet this illness is why we have destroyed the economy and millions of lives, sacrificed freedoms we are going to have to fight to get back? SMDH...
And there us a lot if controversy about HIV as well. Meaning, generally, HIV is not deadly unless you continually get reinfected and keep lowering your immune system by not changing your immoral and addictive behavior.
agreed. no loss.
I’m a bit of a Celtics fan and can’t help but notice that on their still-young season three of their likely already jabbed players and coaches have been quarantined for at least positive tests (with two reporting symptoms). Another has been out for “migraines” that he doesn’t appear to have had previously (he was also a holdout, so likely just jabbed), and two others have been out—one reportedly sick from the start of the season—for “non-Covid illnesses”.
I wonder if this is the start of a very unfortunate trend...
“Another has been out for ‘migraines’”
When we had Covid, the headaches were excruciating, and we never have had and bad or frequent headaches before that.
Only someone completely unfamiliar with the English language would call themselves “fully vaccinated” after they catch the illness they’re supposedly “vaccinated” against...that or a Branch Covidian cult member who doesn’t deal in reality.
My mom was huge fan and she was in her late 20’s early 30’s. Definitely was disappointed when she found out he was a lefty.
Make him still pay all the roadies, lighting & sound folk, concessionaires, parking lot attendants, etc.
Doesn’t seem like a good music choice for Halloween. Maybe something more like Megadeth, Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed and many others.
I remember back when it was to be 95% effective, masks would go away, and mandatory vaccines was a conspiracy theory.
Two weeks to flatten the curve…
Even without it in the headlines, I was totally confident that he was fully vaccinated.
Thanks for the medical lesson. My point was you generally don’t know if you have HIV until you get tested.
