Bon Jovi, 63, is still one of the most popular rock acts in the world, despite his best work now closing in on the big Five O itself. The legendary rock artists' set was fully acoustic and featured hit songs such as Livin' On A Prayer, with the video of that performance going viral on social media.
The aging rocker also performed his 2007 hit Lost Highway before turning the party up with It's My Life which reportedly ended to loud applause from the A-List crowd in attendance.
"I've done a lot of big fundraisers with Tiger, even in people's homes and we're really, really happy to be here tonight," Bon Jovi said. "I want to thank you very much because it's been quite a long time since I performed in public."
The birthday party also doubled as a 30th anniversary event for Woods' charitable foundation. Judging by the guests in attendance, one would assume the fundraising went well.
Jon Bon Jovi's Bandmate Richie Sambora Lost His Mother Just Days Ago
While Jon Bon Jovi certainly had fun brushing shoulders with some of Hollywood's elite, his bandmate Richie Sambora is undoubtedly going through a far more difficult time.
Sambora, a long-time guitarist for Bon Jovi recenly lost his mother, just four days before her 90th birthday. According to a source close to the situation, who spoke with People, Richie spent a significant amount of time as his mother's primary support system.
"Richie had been Joan's primary support system since the death of his father Adam in 2007 from lung cancer," the insider said. "The insider says Richie never hesitated to leave his residences in California or Hawaii at a moment's notice to return to New Jersey. He spent months living in the basement of his mother's home so he could be close to her around the clock, even ringing in 2025 by her side, the source tells PEOPLE."
With Bon Jovi set to be on an international tour this year, Richie will have plenty of opportunity to grieve while finding new ways of embracing happiness.
