A recent report reveals that rock icon Jon Bon Jovi is uncertain about continuing his touring commitments following a recent vocal cord surgery. Scheduled to release his upcoming album, “Forever,” by year’s end, the singer expressed his primary intention to embark on a tour, allowing fans to experience his new songs live. However, he admitted that this plan might not come to fruition due to his vocal health concerns.
In a conversation with Mix 104 Boston, Bon Jovi expressed his strong aspiration to embark on a tour in 2025. Nevertheless, he acknowledged the need for careful consideration due to his recent significant surgery and ongoing recovery process. Despite this setback, the singer reassured that he is progressing well and is optimistic about his recovery, noting that during the album production, he was able to take his time, even recording a song each day.
During the interview with Mix 104, Bon Jovi emphasized his utmost desire and necessity to attain the capability of performing nearly three hours each night, four nights a week, for several consecutive months without any breaks. However, he indicated that while he is presently striving toward this objective, he acknowledges the potential challenges in realizing it.
In the documentary series “Thank You, Good Night,” the iconic rock star candidly discussed his surgery, which occurred in 2022. He shared that it was a challenging period for him, revealing that two of his vocal cords had become “atrophied” and as “thick” as a thumb. Additionally, he expressed his initial fear that he might never regain the ability to sing again.
In the documentary series, Bon Jovi described how typical healthy vocal cords are expected to appear parallel. However, he detailed that the primary issue with his cords wasn’t just their increased thickness but also their uneven size. This imbalance resulted in one of his vocal cords pushing aside another, leading to difficulties in singing effectively.
