Jon Bon Jovi walked the red carpet alone at Hulu's Special screening of "Thank You Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story" on Thursday night.

Held at IPIC Theater, the singer's wife, Dorothea Hurley, was notably absent for the photo op following the "Livin' On a Prayer" singer's recent admission that he hasn't "been a saint" throughout their marriage.

A source, however, informed Page Six that Hurley skipped the event due to an undisclosed illness. A rep for the singer did not immediately respond to our request for comment.

Bon Jovi, 62, wore a black T-shirt and paired it with a black leather jacket and a pair of denim jeans.

During the Cinema Society event, Bon Jovi told the crowd he would tell his younger self "to enjoy the moment, because the moments are fleeting. I would have told that kid to look up once in a while and enjoy the ride."
