The rocker also thanks fans for their support and says his family will get through this

Jon Bon Jovi says his family has been touched by public support and will move forward after his daughter’s arrest and hospitalization for a heroin overdose.

Speaking with Fox 11 in L.A., Bon Jovi called the Nov. 14 episode in a dorm room at New York’s Hamilton College involving daughter Stephanie Rose Bongiovi, 19, a tragedy. Charges of drug possession against her eventually were dropped and she recovered at a local hospital.

Bon Jovi, who supported the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund along with fellow native Bruce Springsteen, also spoke about his rock world and the issues that come with it.
