Bon Jovi Not Dead

Rampant internet speculation that the Red Bank rocker died of a heart attack is false.

Jon Bon Jovi is alive and well, at least if you're willing to believe photographic evidence and not reports from an anonymous blog andoverreaction from all of the twitterverse.

Early Monday a blog reported that Bon Jovi went into cardiac arrest and died at Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune. This, apparently, was not the case as a still breathing Bon Jovi had enough left in him to make an appearance at the  for a holiday benefit show.

Prior to his performance, Bon Jovi was photographed holding a piece of paper dated Dec. 19, 2011 6:00 p.m. that read "Heaven looks a lot like New Jersey."

If Bon Jovi holding a dated sign weren't enough, the Basie also offered proof, posting on its own Facebook page a picture of the Jov performing on stage late Monday night.
