Jon Bon Jovi on His Health and Where He Stands With Richie Sambora (Exclusive)

I respect that he won't fake it on stage. I'm glad he's finally keeping it real with his vocal struggles.

Prayers up for Jon Bon Jovi. He is a good guy. I remember when he opened a restaurant to help people. He told them to pay what they could. Much love to Jon. He is a wonderful person.

Jon looks tired, also looks like he struggles with something internally , like all of us. you can tell he's a perfectionist

I hope him and Richie can settle up and reunite, the band really need Richie

I got married in 1988 and Bon Jovi has literally written the soundtrack to my life with my wife. About 4 years ago I sat down and picked song after song after song from Bon Jovi that has told the most important things that have happened in my life. Starting with Living on a prayer when I got my wife pregnant and I was but 17 years old. I can name event after event after event in my life, both happy, sad, and eventful over my 35 years with my wife, my teaching career, my coaching career and Bon Jovi has a song that points right to that event. Im not joking, I had probably 30 songs that described my life. It was painful for me to see him struggle on stage. I LOVE this man. Wanted Dead or Alive is in my top 5 songs ever and is my go to Karaoke song. I am praying he is well enough to keep going. But if he isnt, he should rest easy knowing that hes seen a million faces, and he rocked them all. Love you JBJ.

A Bon Jovi fan from day one. I think we all were shocked and saddened when Richie left. He didnt leave the right way but he had some issues to deal with, havent we all. He did give us 30 great years . Its not the same without him...the dynamic between him and Jon wont be replicated. I wish Jon a full recovery to get out there and rock a million more faces. Would be nice to see Richie rock a few too.

I absolutely respect the hell out of this man. What a life. What a legacy. Keep searching for more happiness!

"As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead". Well, Jon, you made your own and the world is watching. I love how he says "it's what I do, not who I am". Years ago he said it exactly like that in his Oprah interview and he still says it. Shows consistency and commitment. Mad respect for this man! As far as his voice is concerned, he's no different from any other professional. Doctors retire if they can no longer hold a scalpel, sports men and women retire because their bodies can no longer keep up. Is anyone really surprised that after 40+ years of singing his heart out, that his instrument is no longer what it was. He literally gave his voice to those million faces, and yes Jon, you rocked them all!

As a Bon Jovi and Jon Bon Jovi fan since 1984, I teared up during this honest and touching interview. Jon has been invincible during the majority of his career. To hear him acknowledge a serious health issue that could have ended his stellar career was heartbreaking, but he has the courage to tell the truth and share his struggle. And he refuses to short-change fans by lip-syncing! I’ve experienced a chronic illness in the past two years and felt like giving up, but Jon has encouraged me to “never give up.” He is an amazing, genuine, from- the-heart human being, and that is why I love him and have been a dedicated fan for 40 years. #BonJovi40 #BonJoviForever

Jon has earnt his reign as a rock legend. Live your life man!

Praying that Jon gets his voice back!🙏What a rock legend!🎸💫

Last saw the band in 2019 at Wembley and he did Always, possibly for the last time and hit THE note. Fair play to him. Seems a humble guy and one of the good ones.

I'm an old lady who had limited experience with rock and roll and don't remember bon Jovi years ago but have found him in the past few years. I really like some of his music and some of it I'll leave to the younger music lovers. BUT one thing I have come to appreciate is the fact that this man is such a tremendous human being. His work with Habitat,, his food concerns, his exemplary family life make me appreciate having him on the planet at this particularly trying time in history. Pray that he recovers so that he is able to continue the work he loves.

I became a true Bon Jovi fan in 1986 at the age of 16. I drove a lot of back roads with friends and girlfriends, drinking beer, raising hell, learning about the birds and the bees to Bon Jovi music. I saw them several times live in late 80s and early 90s, and those guys always brought down the house. Forever grateful to Jon and Bon Jovi.

Nischelle is a lovely interviewer - truly engaged and engaging. Great work, Nischelle!

Nichelle you are an explerary interviewer. You ask all the right questions,no scared of the hard one yet show so much grace. Jon......nothing short of par excellance

He left it all on the stage every single time, and it was amazing letting us in like that.

When Bon Jovi makes the "final" album, I really hope Richie comes back for that album.

To be honest, I was never a big Bon Jovi fan. But I always thought he seemed like a decent human being. I appreciate him finally opening up about his vocal problems and as a fellow singer myself, I have to say...I'm rooting for him and his vocal recovery.

What an honest interview. The interviewer did a great job, direct but warm, putting so much feeling and care, and the way she approached all the subject matters... and the listening, so important. Respect (also for Jon's honesty and humbleness)
