The hottest ticket on closing night at Art Basel Miami Beach was Bon Jovi’s concert for 250 people.
They played for over an hour — for the likes of Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Andy Cohen and Mayor Philip Levine — doling out hits like “Wanted Dead or Alive” and “Bad Medicine,” plus a taste of new album “This House Is Not for Sale.”
Jon Bon Jovi compared the intimate Faena Theater, in the Faena Hotel, to a high-class orgy, saying, “We are in a very sweaty, very red room somewhere in a hotel . . . I’m going to get myself in trouble!”
Later he said, “I came here for one reason only: to hear hoity-toities scream!”
And they did.
Klein told us, “He’s just so great and nonstop . . . He’s so alive, and the music’s wonderful.”
Cohen said, “As good as his singing is, and the music and the concert, equally good is his ass.”
The show, broadcast live on Sirius XM, upstaged Madonna’s Friday night set at Faena Forum as the see-and-be-seen event of Art Basel.
