Fans at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Fl. were evacuated from last night's Bon Jovi concert because of a bomb threat. Don't worry -- Tico Torres and company are just fine.
Several bomb-sniffing dogs were sent in after police received a phone call threatening to blow up the arena with two bombs. After determining the threat was a hoax, fans were let back in at 9:30 for the show.
The state of New Jersey can rest easy.
1. Do Not Make A Bomb Threat, You will be found out.

2. Obviously people in FL like Bon Jovi, too... Otherwise they wouldn't have a concert there. But yes, speaking for the state of NJ... we're resting easy now that we know they're ok.

* love " HIS " music ?
surely you don't refer to the lead singer as the entire " BAND "
it's ALL about TICO the drummer.
who couldn't even carry TOMMY LEE'S sticks as a drummer !
besides, the go to website advertisements posted are getting really old;
TMZ historically is on top of NOT posting certain types of
comments, how do you let these " ADS " slip through ?

10. I was there at 6pm last night. At around 6.15pm the event staff were coming out and telling us to all back up wayyyyyyyy in to the parking lot! it was kinda freaky! We finally got in at around 10pm and both bands (even though Daughtry started before I had taken my seat) were AMAZING! kickass show! And the cops did an awesome job at keeping everyone safe!

11. Was Richie there, or still playing one of those "house party" shows in Florida as TMZ reported on yesterday.
Bon Jovi, the only guy who practices being faithful to his wife and not drinking or doing drugs, yet hires and surronds himself with those who do.

12. When will they kick Sambora out of this band? Money must be the real driving force to Jon to keep this obvious drunk and drug addicted, child endangering, bad publicity for the group chump in the band. Remember when they were on Saturday Night Live earlier this season and Richie had a line and didnt say it, as if he was totally stoned? How dare the other band members tolerate this. It must be the Money and nostaligia because no company, corporation, or other musical group would put up with this.
They are all enablers.
