Overview
- Bon Jovi told People on Wednesday that he is "fully recovered" from the vocal surgery and feels ready to return to full touring.
- Surgeons placed two pieces of Gore‑Tex outside his vocal cords in 2022 to medialize the atrophied cord and help the cords close more symmetrically.
- The recovery involved roughly three and a half years of speech pathology and vocal retraining to undo years of compensatory habits.
- The Forever tour kicks off July 7 with a nine‑night residency at Madison Square Garden and continues with multiple U.K. and Ireland stadium dates including Wembley.
- Band members stayed together through the hiatus, and the comeback will test his stamina on long shows while underscoring how aging can change vocal health for longtime singers.
