Jon Bon Jovi on Crutches After Strain

Jon Bon Jovi is unstoppable!

During Bon Jovi's concert at Olympic Stadium in Helsinki, Finland Friday, Jon, 49, suffered an MCL strain. The injury occurred an hour into the band's nearly three-hour set, but neither the incident nor the torrential downpour could keep the rocker from finishing the sold-out show.

"Fans need not worry -- Jon is in good health and future shows will not be affected," Matt Bongiovi, co-CEO of Backstage With Jon Bon Jovi Fan Club, informed the band's nearly 13 million Facebook fans.

Jon is currently on crutches while he recovers; Bon Jovi will headline Hard Rock Calling next weekend in London.

Jon Bon Jovi suffers knee injury at Finland gig

Most rock band’s lead singers have a reputation for toughness but Jon Bon Jovi is raising the bar. Jon suffered a serious strain at a concert in Finland last night and still finished a three-hour show.

Playing to a sold-out crowd at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki the 49-year old iconic rocker damaged what’s known as the ‘Medial Collateral Ligament’ at the core of the knee.

The injury apparently happened about an hour into their set, but despite what must have been serious pain and a torrential rainstorm Jon kept things rocking for another two hours before seeking help.

“Fans need not worry,” Matt Bongiovi, of the band’s fan club assured Us Magazine. “Jon is in good health and future shows will not be affected.”



Any injury to this particular ligament can be really painful and recovery can take over three months. Jon is now using crutches to help reduce the effects but the band already confirmed they’ll be headlining the ‘Hard Rock Calling’ event in London which starts in just five days
