Bon Jovi’s Unexpected Cover of “Watermelon Sugar” Goes Viral
The internet is going crazy, and there’s a good reason why: Bon Jovi unexpectedly performed “Watermelon Sugar” by Harry Styles.
On May 7, Bon Jovi performed some musical hits to help the foundations Meals On Wheels and Project Most hold a fundraiser. The artist not only sang “Watermelon Sugar,” but a collection of his own tunes and covers while interacting with the attendees. Thus, over $50,000 was brought in by the gig, with all profits going towards the organizations.
