Congratulations to Jon’s wife for being honest and straight up telling him what he didn’t want to hear. Then also congratulations to Jon for hearing it and not being in victim mode when he hears it

[AmericanFlyOnTheWall]

Do you realize how much courage it took to speak these words! Best wishes to Jon, his family, and Bon Jovi.

Finally he came out of denial! Everybody knew his voice was gone except for him. Let's hope he can recover.

We still love you Jon, we all got older.

[zwastiunburzy]

The man's got courage. No one wants to hear that they can no longer do what they love. Kudos to Jon's wife for being honest with him. Your music has brought a lot of joy to a lot of people, Jon. Don't ever forget that.

Jon is all class. Hope his voice gets better soon post surgery. A brilliant musician, singer and career.

His voice is not broken, he gave it to us! 😘😘

[kathynichols]

She is your best friend to be honest with you. She loves you ! Long live your love for each other.

He is only human. After performing +3000 shows over 40 years no one would expect him to be as good as he used to be. Even the guys bitching on the keyboards have gotten older. The good thing is to recognise it, to deal with it and to accept it. I know my band will never be what it used to be. But I love them no matter what and I will keep supporting them and being by their side, ‘cause that’s what you do with the ones you love. If the band isn’t good enough for someone else… I get it, I understand why, just turn the page and carry on with your life. Plenty of other artists and bands to listen to. That’s the honest and rational thing to do. #BonJoviForever

Jon, you have truly been Superman to your fans for 40 years. Your voice and your performances have been incredible. But one day, when you’re “just older, ” life pulls you up short. Surgery and health issues are frightening. I’ve experienced in them in the later chapter in my life. Your bravery and perseverance is inspiring to me. Thank you for sharing your story, being yourself and for all the years of incredible music that have been so important to my life. Wishing continued health and happiness and to you. ❤️

Way to go, Jon. Meanwhile others are out there miming all their parts. You're a real one. Much love.

It's always darkest before the dawn you will sing perfectly again for sure

[hanspersson]

The truth always hurts, but I respect the man to the moon and back for his bravery on this issue and for his incredible legacy! A true class act and a great singer. I really hope he gets his voice in shape again!

[JohnWDGTandTele]

Totally respect you for being honest, Jon. You could have lied to the fans with backing tracks, hair dye, and Botox like so many of your contemporaries. You kept it real! Good on you!!

[generaluse]

Kudos to him for accepting the fact of life of getting old. No cosmetic surgeries or hair dying for him! More people should follow his footsteps, especially in the entertainment industry.

[christineveroneze]

I love you since I was a 14 year old girl. Today I'm 50! We're both old Jon and it's okay! I will love you forever.❤❤❤

The plain and simple fact that this man Embraces the fact that he's getting older, he's not afraid to let his hair go Gray any admits that he might not be what he wants was is completely admirable and takes a lot of courage, plain and simple fact is he was getting up there and doing the best he could for the fans, and I think the ones that really know the truth will appreciate him more.. I commend him for Having the courage to go through vocal surgery and I wish him all the best because his music is absolutely classic
