Jon Bon Jovi sat down with The Kelly Clarkson Show and admitted to having hard times after his vocal surgery.
“It was hard because you speak and you say, ‘Okay, I sound like me.’ When you hear yourself back through the speakers that’s when you hear yourself for the first and I didn’t sound like me,” he recalled. “Like I said that was 15-16 months ago. So that threw me for a loop and by the time I got around to making the record it was all good but the initial reaction was a shock because of the change. So you have to get over that and the healing wasn’t done yet.”
It has been two years since the rocker underwent vocal surgery. However, he is still healing and it doesn’t look like he will be going on tour anytime soon. The frontman confirmed that he wouldn’t be able to tour for his new album, ‘Forever.’
“It’s a work in progress,” he revealed to The Guardian last month saying that he still isn’t ready. “There’s no miracle. I just wish there was a f*cking light switch. I’m more than capable of singing again. The bar is now: can I do two and a half hours a night, four nights a week? The answer is no.”
However, even if he does get back on stage, it will never be a ‘240-show tour’ again: “I don’t think there’s ever gonna be a 240-show tour ever again, but when I look to the Stones, U2, Bruce [Springsteen], I can do that.”
Jon added that he’s been undergoing special therapy sessions for his voice and that he has done everything he can do.
