Jon Bon Jovi’s presence on the bridge in Nashville, where he helped save a woman in crisis, seemed like divine intervention, according to The War & Treaty.
The country duo, made up of Tanya Trotter and Michael Trotter Jr., spoke with Fox News Digital on the red carpet at the People’s Choice Country Awards Thursday night, saying in short, “Thank God for Jon Bon Jovi.”
Bon Jovi and The War & Treaty, collaborated on the song “The People’s House,” which they were filming a music video for in Nashville on the Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge shortly before the incident.
“So we had just got finished shooting a music video, and we hugged Jon and we left, and 20 minutes later, the situation takes place,” Michael explained. “I don’t even think he was originally supposed to walk the bridge, but something inside of him and his team said, ‘Let’s go on the bridge.’’
