    NEW YORK Rocker Jon Bon Jovi didnt even need Something for the Pain to finish a concert in his home
    state, despite tearing a calf muscle toward the end of the show.

    Bon Jovi injured himself toward the end of the bands 2 1/2-hour concert at the New Meadowlands Stadium
    in East Rutherford on Friday night, then limped back and forth across
    the stage for an encore, Livin On A Prayer.

    The singer, who grew up in Sayreville, N.J., injured his leg during a cover of the Dave Clark Five
    hit Glad All Over.

    About halfway through the song, he leaned heavily on his microphone stand to support his injured leg.

    My calf muscle just blew out! Whoa!, he said from the stage. I got another leg. I dont need this
    one.

    A video posted on YouTube shows the 48-year-old singer limping back and forth across the stage, flexing
    his foot as he assures the crowd hes OK.

    Dont you worry, folks, he said. I aint got nowhere to go. Im old. What can I tell you? But Im
    still good-lookin!

    After taking a final bow at the front of the stage with fellow band members, Bon Jovi hobbled off with
    the help of keyboard player David Bryan, who wrapped his arm around Bon
    Jovis back.

    A spokeswoman says the band will be able to play the rest of its summer stadium tour and does not
    anticipate cancelling any dates.

    The band was to play the Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, on Monday night.

    The band also has a Thursday concert in Edmontons Commonwealth Stadium, on a double bill with Kid
    Rock.

    Friday nights concert was Bon Jovis fourth at the New Meadowlands Stadium. The band played the first
    concert there in May.

    Thats Hadda suck!!!!

Terri, hit that exercise for your foot before you go to bed, crawl the wall so to speak. It cuts down on cramps and glitches. Both for arms and legs, especially if you get that tingling sensation.

LOL @ Angel

Not a bad Idea Blue!

Your right Shirlee, stretching is very important, especially for us older folks........weirdest thing...I been waking up in the morning and the arch of my foot hurts! Not during the day when I'm moving all around, just when I get up in the morning after a nights sleep!
Whatcha think I been doin in my damn sleep lately? lol

While he heals, it might behoove Jon to go easy and trade spots with Bob. Let TBT share the stage with his band, and mix it up a little. Bob and company could handle it no problem.
