Jon Bon Jovi helps woman off ledge of bridge in Nashville

Singer Jon Bon Jovi is being credited with saving a woman's life in Nashville, Tennessee, after he approached and talked to her Tuesday while she was standing on the ledge of a bridge. Bon Jovi is seen in surveillance video talking to the woman, pulling her back over the railing and embracing her before they walk off the bridge together. Police said the woman was taken to a hospital for treatment.

To Jon and his assistant: Thank you for being there at the most crucial moments of that person's life 🙏

The wife is the one that noticed her and told Bon Jovi to follow her. Amazing women, you can see in other videos, she noticed her right away and made a beeline to help. Bless her!

Actually there was a woman with him who also helped. They need to credit her too. Well done to both of them because they helped this woman when she was most vunerable.❤❤❤❤

Besides "Livin' On A Prayer"s very famous chorus line, another perfectly appropriate song & lyrics for this scene - but not very well-known song of Bon Jovi - called "If That's What It Takes" came to my mind.

"So, when you feel like jumping,
Just when your heart starts pumping
When you're standing out on that ledge-staring over the edge
I'll be there to talk you down, I'll be there before you hit the ground"

- Kudos to Jon Bon Jovi, and I/we will still desperately be hoping your great voice will fully recover someday soon.

I want to bake them a cake. What an amazing story.

It is the woman who embraces the other woman. The hero for me is Jon’s assistant or wife. I can’t tell who she is.

He said an example as to how the police and everybody that works with mental health including people in the hospitals should treat those that are suicidal! I'm not saying that all of them are mean, but I have been there, and a lot of times when I go to the hospital, which is only been a few times, they are really degrading! At least she had his compassion!

I’m sure he said: “we are not gonna live forever, let’s live while we are alive. It’s our life”

To get the bad joke out of the way first: talk about LITERALLY living on a prayer. XD

In all seriousness, I'm very glad this woman's okay and is now getting the help she needs. I also wish her the best of luck on her journey to recovery, because as someone who's also dealt with suicidal thoughts and ideation, it is a black, BLACK place to try to escape from, and many aren't lucky enough to do so. Props to Mr. Bon Jovi and his team for seeing what was happening and doing the right, compassionate thing as quickly as they did. <3

Liven on a prayer for sure. Good work!
