Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jon Bon Jovi joined CBS ‘first inaugural special on Wednesday to sing a cover of The Beatles’ 1969 hit “Here Comes the Sun”, and his performance immediately took social media by storm had.
This evening’s performances were pre – recorded and the concert was hosted by ‘News of the World’ star (and the surviving coronavirus) Tom Hanks. Bon Jovi was the second industry in a star-studded series that included Bruce Springsteen, the Foo Fighters, Justin Timberlake and Katy Perry.
