Jon Bon Jovi says he is now 'fully recovered' after vocal cord surgery that threatened to end his touring days, telling People in a new interview that four years of painstaking rehabilitation have restored the voice that made him a global rock fixture.
The news came after a long and unsettling period in which the Bon Jovi frontman openly questioned whether he would ever be able to perform live again. In 2020, doctors told the singer one of his vocal cords was atrophying, an alarming diagnosis for a performer who has built a four-decade career on high-register anthems such as Livin' on a Prayer.
