Jon Bon Jovi had addressed the issues surrounding his singing voice. The frontman made the comments during a question-and-answer session at this week's Pollstar Live! conference, where he picked up an award to celebrate Bon Jovi's 40-year contribution to live music.
"I've had major reconstructive surgery in my vocal cords, and I never had anything like this ever," Jovi told the audience at Pollstar Live! "So it's been a difficult road, but I found a doctor in Philadelphia who did something called a medialization, because one of my cords was literally atrophied. Sometimes people get nodules; that's a pretty common place. Sometimes deviated septums and things that they've done take its toll on the cords. The only thing that's ever been up my nose has been my finger.
