“Maybe at some point. But I haven’t reached my final chapter yet. I’m living the next chapter.”
According to him, his story is still being written. Recently, Bon Jovi announced for 2026 the Forever Tourwhich will mark Jon’s return to the big stage after vocal cord surgery in 2022.
Initially, the band will perform six shows at Madison Square Gardenin New Yorkand three more in Europe: in Edinburgh (Scotland), Dublin (Ireland) and London (England).
Jon Bon Jovi comments on Bruce Springsteen film
First, however, Jon Bon Jovi made a point of watching the Bruce Springsteen biopic. In addition to praising the film in an interview with Sky Newshe also recalled the beginning of his career in New Jerseywhen he followed in the footsteps of The Boss:
“It’s really good. It’s set in 1982, when I was very much alive and wrote ‘Runaway’ that year. I played two blocks from where he (Springsteen) performed with that cover band every Sunday night. In fact, it competed with my performance, so we would literally close the bar and go there because we knew he was going to play there on Sunday night.”
Bon Jovi added:
“I mean, I lived it, and watching the movie sitting next to him (Springstten) in the theater made me punch him. We said it was like a time machine. A real time machine. Because, you know, he was part of all of our lives growing up in New Jersey, and represents what he meant or means to all of us.”
Bon Jovi in Brazil?
The journalist Fábia Oliveirafrom the portal Metropolisespublished in February 2025 that Bon Joviband led by Jon Bon Jovidenied an offer to play at the festival due to health concerns.
In recent times, Jon has been recovering from vocal cord reconstruction surgery. It also went through a process called medialization. According to the website Jefferson Healththis is “a procedure in which the paralyzed vocal fold is pushed toward the middle so that the functional vocal fold can close properly to regain normal vocal function and swallowing ability”.
To the radio Mix 104.1 Bostonthe artist even said that he didn’t know if he would tour again. Until then, he had only performed sporadic small performances.
