The members of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Bon Jovi[/lastfm] made a big splash when they arrived at the 2010 MTV Europe Music Awards in Madrid, Spain, on November 6, 2010, to receive the event’s first-ever Global Icon award. In addition to closing the award show, they wound up performing a secret pre-party concert, and even brought out a surprise guest, [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Rihanna[/lastfm], for a duet of “Livin’ on a Prayer.”

Rihanna called the experience of joining Bon Jovi “my highlight of the year. I love those guys.”
