By Radar Staff

Jon Bon Jovi has really now put those death hoax rumors to rest by turning up on a beach in St. Barts looking amazing!

The 49-year-old rocker looked like a man half of his age with rock hard abs and a sexy swagger, just days after false reports spread around the internet that he had died.

Jon was carrying a digital camera to capture the beautiful scenery on the French Caribbean island, but it was he who looked picture perfect.

The Livin’ On A Prayer singer looked happy and relaxed as he hiked up to the top of a hill to get a better vantage point.

And he then showed off how he keeps his body in such awesome shape by doing some push-ups on a bench and for good measure did some exercises to keep those washboard abs tightened up.

Thanks for that Christmas gift Jon, You Give Love A Great Name.
