On Tuesday, APRIL 27th, the REVLON & NATIONAL BREAST CANCER COALITION is holding their annual dinner at the Manhattan Center. JON BON JOVI will be performing an acoustic set. This is confirmation of facts so it is clear that this is confirmed, authentic and legitimate news. (FYI: Manhattan Center is where Bon Jovi filmed their 'Live From NYC' concert back in August 2002 and their VH-1 StoryTellers in 2000.) This event will NOT be televised(though expect red carpet photos and media interviews.) This is the 2nd of the previously hinted at trio of charity events Jon was going to be taking part in.
