Jon Bon Jovi is very much alive. On December 19, 2011, there was a false rumor circulating on Twitter that Jon died while doing a show in New Jersey. The rumor was so widespread that by evening, Jon decided to take to his official Facebook page to announce that he was alive and well. As proof, he took a picture of himself that said, "Heaven looks a lot like New Jersey," along with the date, December 19, 2011. See the related link below for the picture he posted.
