Before this remarkable performance at Marathon Music Works, Bon Jovi had not played a full concert since April 2022, following a brief North American tour. During that time, Jon Bon Jovi openly discussed his struggles with vocal cord issues, which led him to undergo a reconstructive procedure known as vocal cord medialization. This candidness about his health challenges has endeared him to fans, showcasing his commitment to transparency and well-being.
While Bon Jovi has expressed enthusiasm about returning to the stage, he acknowledges the need to fully recover before embarking on a full tour. He stated, “I just want to get back to two and a half hours a night, four nights a week, before I’m gonna go out there on the road for real,” emphasizing his confidence in his medical team during the 2024 Pollstar Live! conference.
