“Jon Bon Jovi is a rock and roll trailblazer, influencing countless artists over the years,” said Laura Segura, Executive Director of MusiCares. “MusiCares is honored to pay tribute to him as our 2024 Person of the Year.

The goal of the Person of the Year gala is to raise funds for MusiCares’ vital services throughout the year and to celebrate the philanthropy and impact of music legends.”
