\"It's 15 days into his respiratory confirmation but he wants everyone to know that he's really on the mend and his wife hasn't shown any symptoms although she was also confirmed positive, but she's doing great.\"
Recently, Bon Jovi's music has proven to bring communities together when the people of Chicago engaged in a viral singalong to the hit, \"Livin' on a Prayer.\" The city is currently under stay-at-home orders.

\"Music is a great healer, it's a great unifier and I was touched to think that the folks of Chicago who had so much love for the band that they all reached out their windows to sing 'Livin' on a Prayer.'\"
Bon Jovi said he's writing a new song and is asking fans for help with lyrics.
The idea started after he posted a picture of himself washing dishes at JBJ Soul Kitchen Red Bank -- Bon Jovi's Red Bank, New Jersey, restaurant where diners pay a cash-only donation to eat a meal.
The caption read, \"If you can't do what you do...do what you can.\"

Bon Jovi said he's received thousands of stories and verses, which he adds to the song.
\"It's the nurses and the doctors and the EMT workers and the truck drivers. They're the ones that are writing this song for me,\" he said. \"It's their lives that we're writing about and my heart goes out to each and every one of them because this is that great time in America when we all come together as one.\"
\"We're all in this together.\"
