“There’s a big difference between being in the studio and being on tour. We just recorded a new album. I sing in vocal therapy every day.”
John says he doesn’t want to disappoint his fans if things go wrong
“I want to perform two and a half hours a day, four nights a week – and I know how good I can be, so if I can’t sing… Let’s just say I’ll have to be fat Elvis someday,” he said. Bon Jovi.
The celebrity emphasized that singing became more and more difficult with age, and the prospect of never being able to perform in front of his fans weighed heavily on him.

John concluded by showing his enthusiasm for Bon Jovi’s new album and expressing his gratitude for the longevity he has experienced in his career:
“I want to look back on Bon Jovi’s 40th anniversary and look forward to the new album and appreciate everything. That’s my hope: to find joy in it all,” he said.
