Bon Jovi perform on O2 Arena roof

Rocker Jon Bon Jovi and his band have become the first act ever to perform on top of the O2 Arena in London.

Bon Jovi and his band were helped by mountaineers to reach the roof.

The band started their 12-date residency in London with the stunning performance, reports The Telegraph.

Bon Jovi also revealed at the arena roof that he does not like being away from home because he misses his family.

“It’’s horrible when you are away touring, it’’s terrible – you are away from everyone and it can be for long periods, but so are travelling salesmen and soldiers,” he told the Daily Mirror.
