Bon Jovi was speaking to Fox to promote his upcoming soundtrack for the film “Stand Up Guys” when he brought up the “tragedy.”

“What I do for a living seems glitzy and glamorous,” the singer said, but if you don’t take it too seriously it’s a great way to make a living. And then life goes on. Things happen. This tragedy was something that I had to face too so we’ll get through it. And people’s incredible warm wishes for my family and I have been really reassuring. So, we’re, we’re good.”

Bongiovi was arrested for drug possession at the time of the overdose but charges were later dropped due to a law in New York State that doesn’t allow prosecution for small amounts of drugs when an overdose occurs.

Rocker Jon Bon Jovi’s 19 year-old daughter was rushed to the hospital early this morning after suffering a suspected heroin overdose in her college dormitory. According to police sources an ambulance was sent to Stephanie Bongiovi’s dorm around 2 am after she was found unresponsive in her room at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York. Police conducted a search of the room and found heroin and marijuana. Bongiovi and another student, 21 year-old Ian S Grant have both been charged with possession of heroin and marijuana and criminal use of drug paraphernalia. Reps for Bon Jovi have yet to comment on the incident but a rep for the college said: “In addition to violating state law, the actions alleged to have been committed by the students violate Hamilton college policy. The college is co-operating with the police investigation.” Bongiovi is the eldest of Bon Jovi’s four children with wife Dorothea Hurley.
