MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - Jon Bon Jovi has left a venue in Miami Beach where he was scheduled to perform with his band after testing positive for COVID-19, 7News has learned.
The prolific rocker was set to perform with his band at the Loews South Beach on Collins Avenue and 16th Street on Saturday evening.
Prior to the start of the concert, a man took the microphone and announced that Bon Jovi had tested positive for COVID after he and other band members were given rapid tests.

However, the rest of the band stayed behind and played for the audience as scheduled.
