Jon Bon Jovi says he will pay any fine imposed on a fan who plunged into Sydney Harbour and swam to a floating stage where he was performing.

The 32-year-old man faces being fined by police after the incident during a free concert in the city's Darling Harbour on Friday.

He received a huge ovation from the 20,000-strong crowd after being hauled out of the water by his idol.

Bon Jovi recently launched their new album, Bounce, in Australia.

It is shedding part of its 40,000-piece collection - including costumes worn by stars like Judy Garland, Audrey Hepburn and Yul Brynner - after closing some of its restaurants.
