Jon Bon Jovi visited his old school in New Jersey to see the new performing arts center, which was renamed in his honor.
The 62-year-old rocker spent the last two years of high school at Sayreville War Memorial High School and returned to the school last week to participate in the inauguration of the Jon Bon Jovi Performing Arts Center.
Bon Jovi shared on his Instagram page his emotions about returning to his old school to be honored. “I am honored that Sayerville High has renamed its performing arts center,” he said in his post.
In the carousel of photos posted by the singer, the first photo shows Bon Jovi in front of the cultural space that bears his name; next is a photo of him with some students and a mural also created in his honor.
In the third photo, Bon Jovi appears with “Coach D,” honored by the singer in one of his songs, “Just Older.”
Sayerville High also used social media to thank the singer and talk about his inclusion in the school’s hall of fame, as part of the tributes to the former student.
“In honor of his entry into the school Hall of Fame, Bon Jovi donated a new, state-of-the-art recording studio to the school’s performing arts department,” the post read; “We are very grateful for his donations, and the students and staff will remember this day forever.”
