Jon on Katie Couric

Jon was on Katie Couric Monday (11/5).

Jon Bon Jovi cut his European tour short when he heard the news about Hurricane Sandy’s devastating impact. The New Jersey native rushed back to his home state and rolled up his sleeves to help those who needed it most.

 A Jersey boy at heart, Jon Bon Jovi spent his summers on the beaches of the Jersey Shore, an area hit hard by Sandy. The rocker talks to Katie about the destruction there and what it will take to rebuild.

After the show, Jon went to the "Katie" Green Room to meet and console the other guests who were victimized by Sandy.

 

 There are other heart-breaking and heart-warming stories -- definitely have the Kleenex on hand. You can watch those here.
