Last Night's Bon Jovi Concert Was the Bomb!

Posted Apr 27th 2008 10:07AM by TMZ Staff

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.

31. when you see BJ in concert there are no breaks he gives 100% the entire 2 1/2 hrs constent movement and energy its an amazing show! They are all very talented and they have been able to maintain their popularity over alot of years... He is not sitting there on stage with a guitar belting out sleepy tunes... Its a concert worth seeing!

34. I was at that show last night, it was crazy. thousands of us stood outside for hours worried and waiting to see if they'd play or not.

I was so effing worried but thankfully everything was fine.

the show went on around 9 and ended after midnight. and it was well worth the wait. despite how scary the first half of the night was, the second half was amazing. one of the best shows i've ever been to. Bon Jovi are such a great band and they really love their fans, they definitely could've just said "we can just reschedule" but instead they waited it out. gotta love them.

36. I was killing time before I leave work and I was thinking the same exact thing! Except I couldn't believe I just wasted 2 minutes of my life reading comments about a show/tour that should have stopped back in 1993! Get a life folks - seriously!! Jon Bon Jovi?????????

37. Why would they kick Ritchie out of the band?? They are awesome in concert and decent guys.... Hope Ritchie is getting thehelp he needs..

38. Kick Richie out of the band? You have got to be kidding me? First of all, problems aside, he is one of the most talented guitar players I have ever seen. Next, the band members are all friends, that is the way they have stayed together for 25 plus years. So? would you just kick out one of your friends? BonJovi is by far the best band I have ever seen. And if you are not a fan why do you have to make comments on this site. Rock on Bon Jovi.

39. you people shouldn't bother commenting if you dont even know how to spell the names, its JON not "John" and RICHIE not "ritchie" and also Bon Jovi is one of the greatest live bands i have ever seen people who i know arent fans who have went to a Bon Jovi show always end up blown away. Okay and give Richie a break maybe before you make your own little remarks you should read the full story on what happened and its not like you have ever made a mistake. Okay so give the band a break and dont be a hater.

Great show last night by Daughtry and Bon Jovi. Richie Sambora played awesome. Give him a break, alot of people screw up, it's what you do next that counts. We waited 3 hours to get in and everyone cheered when the bomb sniffing dogs came out.
The shows were way worth the wait.
