Jon Bon Jovi feels 'grateful' after vocal surgery
Music icon Jon Bon Jovi is looking forward to touring in 2026.
Jon Bon Jovi feels "excited, humble and grateful" to be back to full health.
The 63-year-old star underwent vocal cord surgery four years ago, but he's made a full recovery and is now looking forward to touring in 2026.
Speaking to Sky News, Jon explained: "The band and even the crew, they showed me a whole other level of brotherhood and commitment and love for three plus years when, you know, there's no money coming in. And their families are waiting on that. And they never lost faith, which helped me to keep fighting."
Jon's music has explored political and social issues more in recent years, and the chart-topping star thinks he's still evolving as a songwriter.
He shared: "I'm a grown man. I'm not chasing pop stardom. I've been doing this for 43 years and the opportunity to write for me is also kind of a way for me to think through a situation.
"It's soothing sometimes, you know, to work through it. And with an album like 2020, which I became, you know, a narrator while we were all locked down in COVID and no one could play in an arena like [Wembley], you put on your fedora and you become the reporter, and you're writing that story.
"But I loved it as a writer and if I didn't evolve, if I came to you now and say, Hey baby rockin' out we're playing, I would expect you to punch me in the nose. You know, if I didn't evolve."
Jon thinks evolution has been a key part of his life and his music career.
He reflected: "You know, people have been on this train with us for these 43 years. Some got off along the way to go and have a life. Others got on at that point and took it to the next destination, and they got off and they went and had a life. So this evolution is a part of my life. And where you get on the train and get off the train is all understood. But you know, the train kept going."
