Jon Bon Jovi Shares How Vocal Surgery & Rehab Impacted His New Album

by

When life gave Jon Bon Jovi lemons, he made lemonade music. 

The lead singer of Bon Jovi, known as John Francis Bongiovi in real life, revealed that due to his vocal cord surgery in 2022 and subsequent intense rehabilitation, he had to reassess his approach for the upcoming album “Forever (Legendary Edition)”.

In a statement to TopMob News, Jon explained, “This album isn’t just a series of collaborations; it’s an album that emerged from necessity. My vocal cord surgery and subsequent rehabilitation, which was publicized during the release of the ‘Forever’ album in June 2024, played a significant role in its creation.

Because he was in the process of recovering from a procedure, the 63-year-old opted to change his priorities and concentrate more on creating the album “Forever (Legendary Edition)” instead of touring. This album is set for release on October 24 and includes fresh songs as well as updated versions of tracks from his 2024 LP with the same name. Two of these reimagined tracks will be released as singles on August 29.

He shared that while I could sing adequately during studio recordings, the challenging vocal requirements and exhausting nature of touring remained beyond my capabilities. Without the opportunity to tour or promote an album we were all extremely proud of, he sought aid from his friends when faced with difficulty.

Jon’s musically talented friends indeed rallied around him when he needed them, with big names such as Avril Lavigne, Jelly Roll, Ryan Tedder, Bruce Springsteen, and Lainey Wilson gracing the 14-track album with their guest appearances.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it as follows: “I’m thrilled to announce that we, the collective of fantastic singers, artists, and genuinely wonderful individuals, have come together to create an extraordinary album. This collaboration breathes fresh perspectives and vitality into our work, serving as a testament to the power of camaraderie in navigating life’s challenges. We believe that friendship is the key to success, and our new album beautifully embodies this philosophy.

Expressing profound joy and gratitude, Jon shared that releasing this collaborative project feels particularly significant. It’s worth mentioning that his son, Jake Bongiovi, recently welcomed a baby girl with his wife Millie Bobby Brown into their family. Reflecting on this, he emphasized, “I am confident in saying that there is always something greater than just one person – it’s the collective power of WE.

Jon has previously pondered over how his voice problems have affected his professional journey. Last year, the singer famous for “Livin on a Prayer” openly acknowledged that the extended recovery period was more challenging than he initially thought, although he emphatically stated that he had no intention of abandoning music altogether.

In an interview with NPR in 2024, he mentioned, “I’ve always got the option to create another album. I’m not concerned about my songwriting skills. I could have chosen to stop, but I haven’t felt the need yet since the process and development continue smoothly.

As a seasoned lifestyle advisor, I’d like to share an insightful experience I had recently, straight from the world of professional wrestling. In a spirited encounter with WWE superstar Piper Niven, during our July 2025 match, my breast implant unexpectedly moved out of its original position – a testament to the raw energy and physicality that’s intrinsic to our sport.

She reassured her sister Bella Garcia then, “Everything is alright.” She continued, “We’ll sort it out eventually. I mentioned my situation to the doctor, I said, ‘Recently divorced, so as soon as the boots are put away, I’ll return and together we’ll make these girls look fantastic. These girls will have their time in the spotlight, and it’s important that they don’t look like that.’

In 2014, the actress who played a pivotal role in “12 Years a Slave” was diagnosed with fibroids, which are non-cancerous growths that can form within or near the uterus. This diagnosis came during the same year she won an Oscar for her outstanding performance in the film.

Yet, it was only in the year 2025 that she made her diagnosis public, sharing on Instagram that she had endured in secret for over a decade.

She expressed that as we enter puberty, the common understanding is that menstruation brings pain, which is just accepted as a normal aspect of female existence. However, what many women experience is dealing with this issue individually, as it significantly impacts our lives.

 

In July 2025, the member of Daisy Jones & The Six band revealed that they had been admitted to the hospital due to a hernia, which is an opening in the muscular wall often occurring in the abdomen or the groin region, as a result of wearing tightly fitted trousers.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I find myself missing your regular tweets, my friend. You may not be aware, but about six months ago, I found myself in an unexpected situation where the pants I was wearing became so tight they led to a hernia. Quite a shocking experience, one I’ve been hesitant to share. Hope you’re doing well and enjoying your social media break!

In an announcement made in April 2025, the former star of “Beverly Hills, 90210” shared that he was on the road to recovery following an appendix surgery, which had come close to rupturing.

Last week, Brian shared on an Instagram video that he began experiencing stomach discomfort. This led him to the emergency room where it was discovered that his appendix was not fully ruptured, but was very close.

He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”

Adam Devine revealed that the injuries he suffered, following an accident involving a cement truck at age 11, continue to impact him up until now.

Devine shared during a 2025 episode of the “In Depth With Graham Bensinger” podcast that it’s been an extremely difficult ordeal for him. He explained that he’s been experiencing muscle spasms everywhere. Moreover, doctors had informed him that his condition was critical and he might not have much longer to live – specifically within the last year.

He observed that the pain is intermittent, expressing it as, “My body occasionally experiences quirks and minor imperfections.

As a devoted admirer, I’d like to share some recent news from within Bachelor Nation: A beloved alum of ours had to visit the hospital in quite an unusual way – on all fours, due to unbearable back pain that got exacerbated during a trip with his friend in an RV.

Currently, there’s a tingling sensation from my knees to the tips of my toes, which is quite unusual,” he stated during his March 2025 episode of the Trading Secrets podcast. To clarify, about two or three weeks ago, perhaps a month ago, I was performing squats with around 295 pounds. Now, I’m unable to do a single-leg squat without falling over. It’s as if I had suffered a stroke or something.” (I tried to maintain the original’s casual and colloquial tone while improving readability and avoiding the use of slang.)

But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

Back in March 2025, Gina Kirschenheiter from Real Housewives of Orange County revealed that her former spouse, Matt Kirschenheiter, had experienced a heart attack. Fortunately, he made it through this challenging situation.

30 Rock’s lead actor experienced a health emergency during a New York Knicks basketball match in March 2025, causing him to be moved from Madison Square Garden in a wheelchair.

On the subsequent day, the comedian took to social media to share an update, mentioning that it was actually a bout with food poisoning, but he was already recovering.

In February 2025, the former star of “Even Stevens” revealed that she had been accidentally shot in the face during a trip to shoot clay pigeons as part of her husband, Brendan Rooney’s birthday celebrations.

Another group with us accidentally discharged their firearm incorrectly, striking me in the face,” she posted on Instagram. “@thebrendanrooney swiftly intervened, evaluated my condition, and hurried me to the hospital. I was wounded in five spots; one bullet grazed less than an inch from my right eye.

Previously from ‘Kim Possible’, they added, ‘Regrettably, a piece became stuck near my eye and it’s not safe to operate on it surgically right now. Medical professionals will keep an eye on me, but for now, I can see fine.’

The actress expressed her gratitude for being alive. She stated, “My love for my daughters, husband, family, and friends runs deep.” She recounted a moment where she felt like she was looking back on her life, and emphasized the importance of cherishing those close to us. She advised, “Seize every opportunity to embrace the people around you. Life can unexpectedly transform in the blink of an eye.

In a January 2025 episode of Call Her Daddy, Amy Schumer revealed that she was initially frustrated by people criticizing her on the internet after several media appearances, but was eventually grateful when doctors chimed in with concerns about her “puffier” face. They suspected she might have Cushing syndrome, which could be caused by spiking cortisol levels or steroid injections. As it turned out, Amy had been receiving steroid injections to treat scars from surgeries such as a breast reduction and C-section. She learned that this caused her to develop a form of Cushing syndrome, but was relieved to find out that it would resolve on its own and she was otherwise healthy. In a February 2024 News Not Noise newsletter, Amy shared that this diagnosis was the best possible news for her.

During a game in December 2024, an AHL player got hurt when another player’s skate accidentally sliced him. He needed 25 stitches to close the wound. Later, when he was completely healed, his father, who is the New Jersey Devils’ general manager, Tom Fitzgerald, expressed his relief to ESPN, stating, “We’re incredibly fortunate. I wouldn’t wish that experience on any parent.

In March 2022, Hailey Bieber encountered one of the most alarming moments in her life during breakfast with her husband Justin Bieber. As she recounted on YouTube a month later, she began experiencing symptoms reminiscent of a stroke, including slurred speech and facial drooping. Although these symptoms subsided, she went to the hospital for a check-up.

Doctors discovered Hailey had experienced a small brain clot, known as a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA). Further investigations revealed that she had a heart condition called patent foramen ovale (PFO), which allowed the blood clot to travel from her heart to her brain.

Hailey underwent a successful PFO closure procedure and is now reportedly feeling well. During this ordeal, Hailey shared her experience to raise awareness about the potential risks associated with such conditions.

In the same year Hailey underwent a health crisis, Justin also encountered one. Specifically, in June 2022, Justin Bieber announced he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which caused temporary paralysis in parts of his face and compelled him to postpone the rest of his Justice World Tour. In an Instagram video, Justin described the condition as a virus attacking the nerve in his ear and facial nerves, resulting in facial paralysis. He noted that one eye wouldn’t blink, he couldn’t smile on one side of his face, and one nostril wouldn’t move, indicating full paralysis on one side. Remarkably, he informed his fans it became progressively harder to eat but the paralysis eventually subsided. Hailey shared on Good Morning America that Justin was recovering well, feeling much better, and would be completely okay. She expressed gratitude for his recovery.

In April of 2023, Jamie Foxx initially chose not to disclose the details of his hospitalization. However, during his 2024 Netflix special titled “What Had Happened Was…,” he shared his experience. He explained that one day in Atlanta, he was experiencing a severe headache and asked for an aspirin. Before he could obtain it, he collapsed and lost consciousness for approximately 20 days.

Initially, Foxx visited a doctor who administered a cortisone shot and sent him home. Concerned about his condition, his sister Deidra Dixon then drove him to a hospital where they discovered the cause: a brain bleed that resulted in a stroke. After undergoing surgery on April 20th, Foxx woke up on May 4th in a wheelchair and was unable to walk. He subsequently traveled to Chicago for rehabilitation and therapy.

“I want to express my gratitude for every prayer,” he said, “as I truly needed each and every one of them.

The reality TV personality disclosed that she briefly passed out while completing a mile run, an incident occurring during the initial episode of the NBC competition program.

She clarified on “Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser”, “I don’t recall much,” she said. “I can recollect the sound of a helicopter. It felt like I was drifting. Then my grandfather appeared. Following that, I experienced darkness. But then there was light. This made me realize, I realized that day, I must have passed away.

Feeling like my entire system was failing me, I was oblivious to the fact that I was experiencing rhabdomyolysis. This condition, it seems, was sending out a dire warning, whispering in hushed tones, ‘Prepare for a system shutdown.’

Emilia Clarke, famously known for her role in Game of Thrones, filmed intense battle scenes. However, in 2019, she penned an essay entitled “A Battle for My Life” in The New Yorker. In this piece, she detailed a harrowing experience at the gym where she experienced severe headaches that led to vomiting profusely and unbearable pain. She suspected her brain was damaged due to this incident.

Subsequently, she was hospitalized for a brain scan which revealed a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a dangerous type of stroke caused by bleeding in the space surrounding the brain, resulting from an arterial rupture or aneurysm. Emilia underwent immediate surgery to seal the aneurysm, but during her recovery she suffered from aphasia, speaking nonsensical words.

A week later, her aphasia subsided, and she was discharged from the hospital after a month. Unfortunately, in 2013, a growth related to her condition had doubled in size, requiring another surgery.

“When they woke me, I was screaming in pain,” Emilia wrote. “The procedure had failed. I had a massive bleed and the doctors made it clear that my survival chances were slim if they didn’t operate again. This time they needed to access my brain through my skull the old-fashioned way.”

Fortunately, Emilia is now in good health, claiming she’s “at 100%.

Reflecting on a challenging journey, I, Cori Broadus, am deeply grateful for the unwavering support and love from my family. In January 2024, I experienced a severe stroke, which sent shockwaves through our lives. With quick actions, my loved ones rushed to be by my side.

When I shared the news with them via text and a picture, they sprang into action, coming to my aid in an instant. Despite other complications related to my health, I ended up staying longer in the hospital than initially expected. My lupus was not cooperating, and my kidneys were failing, adding more challenges to the situation.

However, today, I am on the mend. The motor skills that temporarily deserted me are improving day by day, and overall, I am doing great. I count my blessings and remain thankful for the support that carried me through this difficult time.

During her twenties, the actress Shailene Woodley faced numerous health challenges. As she explained in a 2024 episode of the SHE MD Podcast, her struggles included losing hearing, experiencing severe fatigue, and stomach issues with almost everything she ate. Her condition was complex and involved multiple diagnoses from various doctors.

Due to her background in holistic medicine and herbalism, Shailene embarked on a quest for answers. She worked with both traditional medical professionals and alternative healers, seeking relief and comfort in her own body. This journey lasted for an entire decade.

Throughout this time, Shailene’s physical discomfort led to other difficulties, such as fearing food due to stomach pain, and dealing with mental challenges like body dysmorphia, identity confusion, and feeling unsafe in her own skin.

However, after addressing both her physical and mental health concerns, Shailene is now feeling much better and can happily report that she is currently in good health.
