Bon Jovi and The War and Treaty collaborated on the song “The People's House,” and had been filming a music video for it at the Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge in Nashville shortly before the incident.

“So, we had just finished shooting a music video, and John and I hugged each other and left, and 20 minutes later, this whole thing happened,” Michael explained. “I don't even think he originally planned on walking on the bridge, but something in his heart and his team said, 'Let's go on the bridge.'
