Jon Bon Jovi was in a festive mood on the Friday before Christmas. The New Jersey rocker was on stage for the Hope Concert III at the Jersey Shore's Count Basie Theatre.
The show was a benefit for The Valerie Fund. The charity raises money for children with blood disorders.
Bon Jovi gave the crowd a rendition of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' and was then joined on stage by Southside Johnny to duet on 'Broke Down Piece of Man'.
Southside Johnny gave the crowd a cover of Marvin Gaye's 'Can I Get A Witness' and then Gary US Bonds performed Otis Redding's 'Dreams To Remember'.
The show raised more than $500,000 for the charity.
