A telephone call was reportedly made from the 'Everyday' singer's home to emergency services in the early hours of Sunday morning because of a medical problem with one of his four children.

Because of a severe snowstorm, a sports utility vehicle (SUV) was rushed to the house in New Jersey instead of an ambulance and the youngster was taken to the nearby Riverview Medical Center in Redbank.

Gossip website TMZ reported: 'A call was placed from Bon Jovi's home at around 2:20 AM.'

The son – either Jesse, 14, Jacob, seven or five-year-old Romeo – was released a few hours later.

The incident was reportedly not serious, but the reasons behind the emergency dash remain unclear.

Police have refused to confirm which of Jon's sons had been taken ill.

Earlier this year, the rocker celebrated his 20th wedding anniversary to his childhood sweetheart, Dorothea Hurley.

He said: "Best investment I ever made. Trust me she is the best. I am very happy."

The couple also have a daughter Stephanie, 16.
