Bruce Springsteen and other music stars paid tribute to rocker Jon Bon Jovi at an annual pre-Grammys fundraiser, putting their spin on hits such as “Blaze of Glory” from the singer’s extensive rock catalog.

Bon Jovi founded a band of the same name in 1983 in New Jersey and helped define the guitar-heavy rock of the 1980s. The 61-year-old was chosen as this year’s Person of the Year by MusiCares, a charitable arm of the Recording Academy that raises funds to help musicians with health care and other needs.

Springsteen, also from New Jersey, joined Bon Jovi on stage in downtown Los Angeles for “Who Says You Can’t Go Home?” Both played guitar and sang. In the audience, former Beatle Paul McCartney stood and clapped his hands above his head.

Springteen’s mother, Adele Springsteen, died on Wednesday at age 98. Bon Jovi said he would have understood if Springsteen, who he called a friend and mentor, had canceled his appearance.

“But he wanted to be here tonight for MusiCares, and he wanted to be here tonight for me, and I’m forever grateful,” Bon Jovi said.

Bon Jovi also talked about the importance of music in his life. “Every time I strum my guitar, I’m reminded that I have a best friend for life. That instrument will never let you down,” he said.
