Bon Jovi Forever Tour: MSG sinus interruption

Entities: Madison Square Garden · Jon Bon Jovi · Bon Jovi · Bruce Springsteen

Overview

Jon Bon Jovi’s nine‑date Madison Square Garden residency, which began on 7 July 2026, has continued to blend expanded set‑lists with health‑related interruptions. After a shortened show on 19 July, the band restored the full repertoire on 21 July, adding deep‑cut tracks such as “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead” and “Raise Your Hands,” signalling vocal recovery.

On 23 July the eighth night was halted after about 90 minutes when Bon Jovi announced a sinus infection. He apologized, told fans he was “hurt,” and urged them to keep their ticket stubs for a future makeup date. Pat Monahan of Train joined for a brief “Livin’ on a Prayer.” A spokesperson confirmed the sinusitis diagnosis and reiterated that the singer had undergone vocal‑cord surgery in 2022.

The postponed New York performance was rescheduled for 26 July. The final residency night featured a 19‑song set, debuted the 2024 single “The People’s House,” and included a guest appearance by Bruce Springstein; the two Hall of Fame inductees performed “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” and closed with “The Promised Land.” No additional makeup date was announced beyond this show. The residency concludes on 26 July, after which the band will continue the “Forever” tour with stadium dates in the United Kingdom and Ireland in August‑September.
