Jeremy Fry, a dedicated Boston Celtics fan, made headlines with his exuberant dance to Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On A Prayer” during a game. As the iconic 1986 hit played, Fry threw himself into the performance with such energy that it felt like he was at a Bon Jovi concert. He danced down the aisle, played air guitar, and sang loudly, drawing the attention of the game camera and the crowd.

The audience embraced Fry’s spontaneous display of enthusiasm, joining in with singing and cheering. His genuine passion and infectious energy quickly caught the eye of many, leading to the video being shared on the official Bon Jovi YouTube channel. With over 16 million views, Fry’s performance has gained widespread recognition, especially among sports fans.

Comments from viewers, such as “It must be amazing to immerse yourself in the moment without worrying about others’ opinions,” reflect the admiration people have for Fry’s unapologetic love for the music. His performance has become a highlight, with many finding joy in watching his authentic expression of creativity and excitement.

During the 2008–2009 season, which also saw the Celtics setting a franchise record with 19 consecutive wins, Fry’s dance became a standout moment. Although many dancing fan videos have surfaced since, Fry’s performance is often regarded as the quintessential fan moment. In an interview from that season, Fry spoke with humor and lightness about his long-standing love for the Celtics.

Fry shared that he first experienced the excitement of Celtics basketball at just seven years old. The 2007–2008 season, which ended with the Celtics winning the championship against their historic rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers, reignited his passion. Despite the Celtics not defending their title in the 2008–2009 season, their impressive start of 27–2 may have fueled the fervor that inspired Fry’s memorable dance.
