"I'm ready to talk about it," Bon Jovi said of the vocal surgery he had in 2022. "I pride myself on having been a true vocalist. I've sung with Pavarotti, I know how to sing, I've been studying the craft for 40 years."

"One of my vocal cords was literally atrophied," he continued. "Your vocal cords are supposed to look parallel, or let's pretend that they are as thick as a thumb -- one of mine was as thick as a thumb and the other one was as thick as a pinky. So, the strong one was pushing the weak one aside, and I wasn't singing well."
