Jon Bon Jovi Updates Fans on Vocal Surgery Recovery, Tour Status Still Uncertain

Jon Bon Jovi has shared a health update on his vocal surgery following doubts on whether he’d tour again.

Bon Jovi   released their album ‘Forever’ in June 2024 – however, the frontman was hesistant to say whether he could tour following vocal surgery he underwent in 2022.

Now, in a new interview with  People , Bon Jovi has confirmed he’s “fully recovered” from the surgery. “It was longer than I’d ever expected, but it had to be right. We never lost faith.”

He added that the band “never doubted [me] and never looked for work or decided to retire. The sacrifices that each one of them have made to be there for me is on a whole ’nother level.

“Every day of every rehearsal they were there with me,” the frontman continued to say. “My love for them has only deepened.”

In 2024, Jon Bon Jovi spoke to  NME   about the possibility of touring ‘Forever’ following his vocal surgery.

At time time, he said he was “much further down the road to recovery”, but cautioned: “I’m still not confident I could do two-and-a-half hours a night, four days a week and I won’t book a gig until I’ve done that on a rehearsal level.

“At this moment in time, we’re rehearsing once a month just to see the progress. I’m not there yet and it blows.”

The band are due to play a run of UK and Ireland shows this year  alongside a New York residency.

They initially announced a show at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium on August 28, followed by Croke Park in Dublin on August 30 and finally a giant show at London’s Wembley Stadium on September 4. However, the band went on to add two more dates to their Wembley shows due to phenomenal demand.
