Jon Bon Jovi made things right with fans after a health setback forced him to abruptly cut one of his Madison Square Garden concerts short.

More than a month after the rock star struggled to make it through the July 23 performance, Fox News Digital can confirm Bon Jovi offered fans a full refund for the shortened show.

“Thank you for being part of Bon Jovi’s Madison Square Garden shows,” an email from Ticketmaster read. “In effort to always put the fans first and create the best experience for them, Bon Jovi will be giving refunds to primary ticket purchasers at original point of purchase for fans who attended the Thursday, July 23, 2026 concert at Madison Square Garden.”

Bon Jovi abruptly ended the July 23 show after having difficulty getting through his performance. Train frontman Pat Monahan stepped in to help before Bon Jovi made the decision to end the show.

A representative for Bon Jovi confirmed to Fox News Digital at the time that the concert ended early, saying the singer told fans from the stage he had been battling a health setback.
