Jon Bon Jovi Risked Rare Vocal Surgery to Tour Again

- In this exclusive AARP interview, iconic musician Jon Bon Jovi reflects on the “immortality” of writing music and the fight to save his voice.
Bon Jovi opens up about undergoing thyroplasty surgery in 2022 to restore his vocal cords. After more than four decades of performing, his vocal cords were thinning, weakening his voice. Bon Jovi is still recovering, but he says his goal is to tour with his band again, singing “two and a half hours a night, four nights a week.”
Bon Jovi talks about looking back on his career thanks to a new four-part Hulu documentary about his band, “Thank You, Goodnight.” It chronicles Bon Jovi’s journey since its founding in 1983 with original members Richie Sambora, David Bryan, Tico Torres, Phil X and Alec John Such. The band rose to global stardom in 1986 with its third album, “Slippery When Wet,” which included songs such as “You Give Love a Bad Name” and “Livin’ on a Prayer.” Since then, the band has sold 140 million records and given the world hits like “Bad Medicine,” “I’ll Be There for You” and “It’s My Life.”
Bon Jovi details what’s special about the band’s 16th studio album, “Forever,” being released in June 2024. He says the album benefits from the depth of his “life experience” at 62 years old. At this point in his career, Bon Jovi says that it’s not numbers and accolades that drive him - it’s his love for his family and bandmates who trusted him “to take ’em on this ride.”
Bon Jovi is featured on the cover of the June/July 2024 issue of “AARP The Magazine.”

I pray his surgery works for him. He should never apologize for how he looked back in the 80's!! OMG he was the HOTTEST thing alive!
Still is! And he can sing. He’s back!
He can NEVER let us down!!! Impossible
Apart from the last tour where he took everyone's cash aware he couldn't deliver?
Apart from the last several albums of dentist waiting room music.
Oh he did. He came out singing out of tune for 10 years turning the worlds premier rock band into a country wuss band because he doesn’t give a damn about singing in tune when fans put their hard earned dollars in his pockets.
@@peevee605Jon and die hard jbj fans who refuse to acknowledge what's blatantly in front of their faces remind me of reverend Jim Jones and his mindless flock who drank the coolaid!
Hard to find people like JBJ and his awesome talents. do your best never give up. ❤
His voice was made to sing Rock n Roll! I understand his desire to want to sing at full capacity like he's done for decades! May God bless you with a full recovery, and may he give you the desire of your heart to have your beautiful voice return! Love you always and forever, Mr. JBJ! ❤❤
Please, come back soon JON...Together with RICHIE SAMBORA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let it go already. Phil X has been in the band for 12 years and is Family. Ritchie chose to leave.
It is what it is. Phil X is IN the band forever. No different then when we changed bass players.
Phil X brings Rock, Energy, Vocals and Stage Presence. He was the Savior for Jon and the band.
Ritchie left us 12 years ago….. It Is Over With Him.
@toddracicot706 Richie was forced out to bring in Jon's lame pop producer Michael shanks
Always Humble & Honest 💙💜

He is and always will be my favorite rock star 🤩❤
Oh, Jon where did the time go? 80s big hair doused in Aqua Net, spandex pants, with the latest Bon Jovi cassette blasting in my two tone Pontiac Grand Am. Driving down 520 to get to Jack's Music and Records in Red Bank for the newest JBJ album on the day of release or for concert tickets at Count Basie. And now here we all are 40 years later members of the AARP. 🤣🤣✋✋
Still my favorite band!
So glad your voice is doing better. Can't wait for rhe next concert when you're ready.
Love your music, but love your heart even more.
💘💘
What a fantastic memory! Glad you liked the video!
Bon Jovi..simply the best. Since 1984.. I am your fan . Since child hood ..46 now
Last time I saw him in concert was 2018 and by the middle his voice was done. I loved him since 1988 and lived 30 min from his mansion in NJ , but he also smoked for years! That had to do damage that he’s dealing with now!
He's amazing 👏 😍 ❤.
💪💪❤
Jon time marches on……keep the spirit!
Everyday is a new beginning. Looking forward to Jon, Richie, and the gang going back on tour. Richie mentioned he is up for it when Jon is ready with his voice. Not about money for them they just want to bring joy to the world with music.
such a good interview! "She could sing the phone book" I love it!
Thanks, @margeeframe2848!!
Jon, The Great Physician healed you, I'm so glad!
We love you Jon you gave all of us 80s kids the best memories of our lives you are a Rock n Roll legend, take a break live enjoy life you deserve it
Please do more positive songs like Legendary. I love it so much. Much needed in this current times and much needed as I get older, things are tough 😅
Bon jovi current songs are sooooo biring
He is still amazing today as he was in the 80
I am going to Bon Jovi concert! My favorite band of all time..
I seen JBJ once in concert and look forward to his triumph comeback!
Jon all I can say is please please be careful, you’re an awesome person and if anyone can overcome this it’s you.
Hi Aarp, thanks for info
LOVEEEEEEEEE Bon Jovi still!!!!!!!
62 and still a snack! Good for him and good luck as long as the results work.
I remember for years when ever I saw video footage of Bon Jovi , I would always think Man, Doesn't this guy ever age? He seemed to look 35 years old for 20 years , then all of sudden he looked old
Estás hermoso mi gringo bello!! Tus ojitos turquesa y tu sonrisa sincera ❤❤. Espero ansiosa el nuevo álbum!. Desde 1984 necesito mi dosis de mala medicina 😂😂❤❤ !! Bon Jovi el soundtrack de mi vida ❤❤
An amazing talent and man. Ive been a fan since 1987❤
Amazing voice of Jon Bon Jovi, He is living Legend 🥂
Bon Jovi is back! If you tour great!, if not, great too! Take care of you first, then your family but whatever you do, keep writing! We ❤U!!!

How I wish someday you have another concert with my honey Steve Perry you are both amazing in singing good voice and many fans
Jon bon Jovi miss you it's my Life ✨👄👄👄❤️❤️❤️💯🇵🇭 always and forever jon bon Jovi
Well, these days, he's livin' on a prayer.
But, it's his life, it's now or never.
At least he raised his hands to admit it and didn't runaway. Even if it tastes like bad medicine.
He should be doing 4 concerts a bimester, not a week. Preserve your work tool, and make it last longer
Hi hello 🤗 jon bon Jovi it's my Life music ✨
yes yes yes !!!!!!!!
The last true rock star…
❤❤❤❤❤❤
😊.
He needs to realize vocals wear out his voice will never be what it was he needs to adapt to it like robert plant did
Dear Jon,
Have you ever thought about the possibility that the lost of your voice could be linked to the psychologycal impact of Richie's departure? You say in the documentary that you started experiencing imperfections in 2015. Richie left in 2013. Maybe you needed 2 years to realize he was gone and won't come back and consider the consequences for the band.
I don't question the purely biological elements like the fact that your vocal cords no longer closed properly. But often physical and psychological are very linked.
In any case, I sincerely hope that you manage to find your voice again and also that Richie will come back. You are my favorite band. Your songs touch me personally, it really speaks to me, it resonates with my own life. May you sing together again for your publit who loves you. ❤❤❤
He did not risk it !!!
He accepted that he needed to retire..
That"s why he did it...if the surgery was a succes he wanted to try to be the best again.
If it didn't...he was ready to quit.
I recently saw Duran Duran on Austin city limits and was amazed at how good Simon sounds still. The heart of rock n roll is still beatin' In John but the vocals need a little tweekin'. Sorry bro, time to buy an AI robot to fill in. 👾
I think his atrophy comes from adductor branch paralysis(AdBP) that we first reported. the Vocal fold open normally in AdBP but doesn’t close completely. To obtain good voice, medialization surgery only is not effective arytenoid adduction could achieve complete result.

Even famous voice doctors in the US don’t understand this voice disorder,AdBP.
If my diagnosis is correct, He could regain his voice again
Kaos
❤🥰 4:10
Hottest 62 year old alive.
Gota slow down
Jon STOP doing tours!! Only limited dates and preserve your voice!! Write music and live! Else life will come back and take away your voice sooner!
Yea . Dude
If the surgery works hopefully he will be fine
God and Jon will decide
I’m hoping if he does tour one last time fully it’ll be good sense of keeping the voice in tact during different states and countries and keep them up because it be some nights back then he was on fire and others he wasn’t as on point but still good enough for him to hit the vocals keep the faith Jon got this
Yeah, definitely not 4x a week, at most 2x a week.
You can do around 2 hour shows 3 nights a week, you 62 and you vocal chords have been overworked, adjust!
Can anyone tell us whether a resident of Pakistan can earn money from it or not by writing articles

the way i love him and yes i think i think the same for Beyonce too ❣
She stinks sounds like a lamb
Hope it don’t help
u are no jagger
Why screen … just sing
Take a break
Mick Jagger still has similar hair and a similar dress sense to what he had when he was 21 to 25. One thing that annoys me about Jon is how he is always talking about maturing blah blah blah. FFS dye your hair, throw on some Bon Jovi type clothes and write and record some Bon Jovi type rock songs. That's what the fans want.
That’s what you want.
This fan doesn’t want what you suggest and there are many of us that love Jon including his grey hair and his infectious smile!
Dude that's not their real hair lol
Nothing wrong with gray hair but a color wouldn't end the world either. Go ahead and dye the hair one more time.
Boycott AARP
What Robert Deniro just did on national TV is a disgrace.
stop it jon. you way pass your time. don't follow your desire.
Why not retire and help others with music
You people don't get it..its because thisnsi who he is ..he isn't happy when he isn't touring..he deals with depression..not being able to perform makes it worse..he doesn't want to quit touring..but he may need to..its life
Why would you not take care of your voice, Jon? Why don’t you stop smoking? Why did you let John Shanks oust Sambora from the band?
Sambora left the band himself. No one kicked him out. It was his choice. Move on.
@benkraze3103 Not true Richie felt disrespected because jon had the producer Michael shanks record Richie's guitar parts while he was out taking care of personal family business that's not cool
Please stop
Shouldn’t have been a heavy life long smoker, take care of your instrument
Please stop! Besides, all of your 'new' music is basically bland rewrites of your old songs that were bland to begin with.
Youve had your time, try and have some dignity...
Stop. Please
Your country's been invaded and destroyed and this is what you talk about.
Time to retire Johnny boy.
Just retire. Sheesh.
Mick Jagger is 80 and running around the stage like he is still in his 30s.
Ikr
And Steven Tyler is up in his 70s although he got one last tour with Aerosmith he still got out there and singing same for Brian Johnson somewhat in his early to mid 70s
I don't like this new layout from youtube :(
Please take care of yourself and don’t go out and sing like Axl.
