Fans have been worried about Jon Bon Jovi after he suffered from problems with his vocals, but today, the singer is ready to address his health and he gave his fans an update about the current state of his well-being.

The Bon Jovi frontman recently attended the Pollstar Live! conference, an event that awarded the Milestone Award for his group's 40th-year in the music industry.

During the question and answer part of the program, he noted that it's become a public knowledge that he underwent reconstructive surgery in his vocal cords and he never experienced something like that ever in his life.

"it's been a difficult road, but I found a doctor in Philadelphia who did something called a medialization, because one of my cords was literally atrophied," he added.

The singer further discussed that it was a difficult past ten years for him because what he suffered from was something out of his control.

Jon Bon Jovi Health Condition

According to Jefferson Health, as reported by Loudwire, Jon Bon Jovi underwent a procedure to push the paralyzed vocal fold to the middle.

The reason why doctors do this is for the functioning vocal cords can regain normal voice as well as a person's ability to swallow.

Bon Jovi further discussed about his condition, saying his strong vocal cord was taking what was left of the weak one so in his case, doctors added a plastic impact.

Ever since he had surgery, the singer said he had been in rehab to recover, but he's getting very close to be fully healed from his health issues.

"New record's done. So now 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. But I'm confident in my doctor," he added, teasing about a new album.

The Future of Bon Jovi

Since Jon Bon Jovi needed to recover from his surgery, many fans have been curious if he and his bandmates will hit the big stage again for a tour. However, the answer is still unclear as he noted that it will all depend on his health.

"My health has been first and foremost a topic of discussion, but I'm well on the road to recovery there... If I can't be great, I'm out, he said.
