Channel 24 has reported that Jon Bon Jovi fans in New York City will have to wait another week to see his band at Madison Square Garden. The New Jersey-born rocker decided on Thursday night to postpone this weekend's concerts as he continues to recover from bronchitis. The band said that tickets for his Friday show will be honoured on Thursday April 13th, and tickets for his Saturday show will be honoured on Saturday April 15th. the band said in a statement, "The decision was difficult to make, but made in the interest of delivering the full, powerhouse performance for which Bon Jovi is known," adding Bon Jovi's doctor recommended that he not perform this weekend. Bon Jovi has been battling the ailment for more than a week. He was forced to cut short a concert in Pittsburgh by nearly an hour on Wednesday.
Fans and some critics have noted that Bon Jovi had difficulty singing and hitting some high notes in the past week or so. During the Pittsburgh show, he told the crowd he had a sore throat and jokingly asked if anyone from a bar band knew all the words to Bon Jovi songs and could fill in for him.
The band is best known for hits including You Give Love A Bad Name, Livin' On A Prayer and Wanted Dead Or Alive. It is promoting its latest album, This House Is Not For Sale, nearing the end of the first leg of what is expected to be an extensive tour.
