The statement continued, “As part of the Bon Jovi residency at Madison Square Garden, Jon has said numerous times that it has been a joy to return to live shows for the band.”

The spokesperson promised that “updated information will be available shortly.”

The rocker, notably, was in the middle of the eighth show in his nine-night MSG residency when he fled the stage post-“Livin’ on a Prayer.”
