Rock stars and countrymen from the US state of New Jersey are great friends
Every fan of Bon Jovi Do you know that the vocalist Jon Bon Joviis a big fan of Bruce Springsteen. In addition to admiration, the two countrymen from the American state of New Jersey are good friends and, apparently, support each other.
In 2022, after a tour promoting the album Bon Jovi 2020, Jon underwent serious surgery on his vocal cords. The performances of the aforementioned tour were not good and the singer realized that he needed medical help — something that, fortunately, he obtained.
During the recovery period after the medical procedure, none other than Springsteen kept him company. In an interview with Ultimate Classic Rockthe singer of “Livin‘on a Prayer” It is “Always” remembered:
“bruce He came to pick me up every two weeks. We would go on these 100-mile trips during the post-surgery period where I could barely speak. There was just that vow of, ‘I’m here for you, man.’”
100-mile trips aren’t exactly short. Even so, there wasn’t even time for the conversation to get boring or turn into serious topics. The two chatted pleasantly and had fun — even when they realized they were two rock stars in the same car.
“You have Jon Bon Jovi It is Bruce Springsteen driving through New Jersey. You want the state police to stop you. One day we were at a traffic light and someone was passing a bucket around asking for coins. Era of VFW (NGO that supports war veterans). I rolled down the window and as I had some money in my pocket, I put it out. The guy saw me and said: ‘hey!’. Then he leaned over, looked out the window, saw Bruce and said: ‘oh!’ [risos]. And then all the guys from VFW came to us.”
Jon Bon Jovi’s surgery
In addition to undergoing vocal cord reconstruction surgery, Jon Bon Jovi 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.”
The radio Mix 104.1 Boston (via website Igor Miranda), Jon revealed that he doesn’t know if he will tour again, even though he is about to release a new album, Bon Jovi Foreveron June 7th.
“I don’t know if there will be a tour. It is my desire to have one next year, but I am still recovering from major surgery. Even though I’m on the road to recovery, and I was able to take my time and do one song a day when I made the record, my need or desire is to be able to do two and a half hours one night, four nights a week, for months on end. I am working towards that goal.”
