Shania Twain encouraged Jon Bon Jovi to undergo vocal cord surgery | Backbiting

Twain underwent surgery in 2018 to correct her vocal cord problems. Bon Jovi says that the Canadian was his example in this. “She was the only one I knew who had undergone this operation,” the singer says in conversation with People.

The singer was a source of support for her colleague during his treatment period. “Not only did she reassure me that it would be OK, but she also helped me out a little by saying that it would help me get back to work faster,” says Bon Jovi. “She said that because she knew that otherwise I might back down. So I couldn’t wait to have the operation.”

According to Bon Jovi, he is still working on his recovery process every day. The ultimate goal, performing several days a week for thousands of fans, is not yet in sight, according to the 62-year-old singer. “I can sing, but what I can’t quite do yet is sing for 2.5 hours in an evening four days a week. But I’m aiming to get to that point again.”
