Jon Bon Jovi delivered many unforgettable live performances over the years, but those days may be behind him. The Bon Jovi frontman said he might never sing live again if he can’t be the guy that he once was.
Jon Bon Jovi recently opened up about his struggle to sing live after undergoing surgery on his vocal cords in 2022 in a conversation with The Sunday Times. His voice hasn’t been the same ever since, and he said that he’s “done” performing live if he can’t go back to his old self, while also adding he’s “good with that”.
This isn’t the first time he dropped hints about his potential retirement from touring. The rock legend previously told The Times there’s a huge difference between performing in a studio and going out on the road.
“We have just recorded a new album. I sing in vocal therapy every day. But I want to perform for two and a half hours a night, four nights a week – and I know how good I can be, so if I can’t be that guy… put it this way, I don’t ever need to be the fat Elvis,” said Bon Jovi.
Despite not planning to tour anytime soon, the members of Bon Jovi are getting ready to give their fans some new music. The band’s next album Forever will be released on June 7 via Island.
