Attendees at the Hope Concert in Red Bank, New Jersey, were happy to pony up the ticket price and food donations to see Bon Jovi and Southside Johnny Lyon perform at the Count Basie Theatre last night.
What they weren't expecting was for Jon Bon Jovi to come out on stage and introduce Bruce Springsteen, who sang background vocals and played guitar on Run Rudolph Run, then did a solo Merry Christmas, Baby and Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town.
The fourth annual fundraiser brought in over $250,000 for the Parker Family Health Center and more than 10,000 pounds of food for the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
