Jon Bon Jovi lauded after he admits 'no miracle' will repair his damaged vocal cord enough for him to tour

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Frontman of Bon Jovi and iconic rock artist Jon Bon Jovi recently admitted that there is "no miracle" likely to heal his damaged vocal cord enough for him to go back on tour.

The 62-year-old rocker—who has served as an iconic figure in the music industry for decades—released their 16th album 'Forever' this week.

Described as a "big-sounding record designed to be played to big rooms" by Classic Rock, the album has been praised as a return to dominance, per Louder. However, there's little chance that it will be performed while touring.

Jon Bon Jovi opens up about vocal injury and 2022 surgery

The 'It's My Life' hitmaker claimed in a recent conversation with The Guardian that following surgery in 2022, he is no longer able to perform live like he used to, and the band has no upcoming live dates.

"It’s a work in progress. There’s no miracle. I just wish there was a f**king light switch. I’m more than capable of singing again," Bon Jovi said.

He added, "The bar is now: can I do two and a half hours a night, four nights a week? The answer is no."

"It lights you up when you’re out there. As long as I have the ability, I will write songs and make records," he noted.

The artist recently made an appearance on 'American Idol', so one-off concerts could be possible. Moreover, he maintained that he still gets goosebumps when singing in front of a large crowd.

How Jon Bon Jovi's vocal cord surgery influenced the group's most recent album

Guitarist Richie Sambora unexpectedly quit the band in 2013, and two years later, Bon Jovi started experiencing problems that both physically and figuratively took away his voice.

Although he tried red light therapy and coaching to ease the pain in his vocal cords, Bon Jovi didn't seek assistance until he was nearly exhausted from performing the group's strenuous 21-track set lists on their 2020 tour.

In the end, he had surgery in 2022 to repair his vocal cords.

After years of suffering, Bon Jovi was given back his talent through his subsequent healing process—which is detailed in the 2024 retrospective Hulu docuseries 'Thank You Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story'. It also cleared the door for new work, as he mentioned.

"I went into this surgery and I had a lot of time on my hands — all I could really do was sit around and start to think about songs," Bon Jovi recently said to Entertainment Weekly.

He added: "I started to feel joy again. And ... we'd all come out of that fog, and we were interacting again. There was a new appreciation for life. And I was having this new appreciation for my body. And it led to all these songs."

Fans praise Jon Bon Jovi for 'knowing his limits'

Social media users came in to laud the 'Runaway' singer as one X (formerly Twitter) user said, "I admire his integrity. Paul Stanley should’ve had the same realization a decade ago."

"Respect this so much more than fake a** vocal tracks," exclaimed a second fan.

Another one added, "Gotta respect a man who knows his limits"

One fan noted, "I applaud him for all this honestly .........truly too many bands trying to fraud the fans . Makes me even more of a fan ."

"Love Jon but maybe this should be the last album if he can’t sing like he once did and that’s alright," chimed in one.

Another said, "He has gotten everything out of his voice for 40 years. Nothing to be ashamed of if he stops performing live."

Another remarked in part, "Man, good that he can still sing in some amounts. I remember way back hearing about vocal problems he had. Don't know if returning or new problems. Hope he can heal up at some point."
