New Jersey rock icons Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen kicked off Grammy Awards weekend in Los Angeles with a memorable collaboration. The occasion was a tribute to Bon Jovi's illustrious career and philanthropic endeavors, as he was honored as MusiCares Person of the Year on Friday night.
In front of a crowd of 2,000 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Bon Jovi expressed his admiration for Springsteen, referring to him as his hero, friend, and mentor. Breaking away from tradition, Bon Jovi took the stage at the beginning of the nearly three-hour show. He and Springsteen traded guitar licks on their hit collaboration 'Who Says You Can't Go Home,' as striking scenes of New Jersey were projected behind them. The performance was met with a standing ovation.
