- Jon Bon Jovi . Is this singers voice gone? Is he finished? What is wrong with his voice? 2022 Bon Jovi tour has been a difficult one. Jon is not singing well. In this video we look at some of his problems and try to figure out exactly why he sounds so bad, what he is doing wrong, his vocal technique, stage monitoring , does he have vocal damage, polyps, can he rescue it? Why is he still doing this?

I worked for a Bon Jovi concert in the mid-90s and briefly met the band. They were a decent bunch of guys and put on a terrific show. I've said many times since that I was impressed at how much Jon's voice and the songs sounded as good live as they did on the albums.
It's a damn shame if his voice is starting to fail him now.
He's still a legend no matter what.
Agree❤❤❤
Mid 90s, during their world tour or something?
@@Bablu69_420- it was 1995, so it was in support of their These Days album, although they did play all the hits.
Great outdoor show, and Jon's voice was amazing live.
eons ago
The voice is gone, the legend remains.
He got vaccinated! And still got COVID, lost his voice for two weeks, cancelled some of his tour dates, his voice hasn't been right since! Remember the powers that be made musicians get the jab in order to perform!
Many singers are having the same problems!
yep its gone & he needs time off to reboot, but a good coach like ken tamplin can get his 80's voice back.. anything of real value takes patience/persistence & discipline . could we read a newspaper at after 3 full time years of schooling at 7 years of age?
@@forestfaulkingham5832 that explains it .. Ive known people to get 3 covid jabs & 1 or 2 flu jabs over the last couple years, & its destroyed their health.. thanks
Voices never recover once they go they go
I love Jon Bon Jovi, and to see him lose his voice like this really breaks my heart. I wish he would just retire, there really is no shame in it. It's ok Jon, everything will be ok, We his fans will always remember the days you gave us music and all your best, and we will always love you. Thank you for all the memories. Jon Bon Jovi, we will always love you.
No one should ever retire... musicians play til they die...so do singers

@PaulHarrisonAdventureGearMusic
-thank you !- 🎤🎧🎶🎸🥁
He should've retired after Sambora left the band. His voice has been crap since around that time and the last couple of years it's been absolutely woeful. It's not like he needs the money either at a net worth of over 400 million...
There is no point of pushing it. He's done enough, the band has done enough. Nothing to prove. They had a phenomenal career.❤️
Probably the best breakdown and detailed analysis I’ve seen on this topic. Like yourself I take absolutely no pleasure in seeing this. Jon has been one of my favourite singers for years and Bon Jovi are one of my favourite bands of all time.
This is heartbreaking. Thankyou for not bashing him because he is clearly struggling with something. Jon has put his whole heart and soul into his career and fans and we need to be kind and supportive as he goes through whatever it is he is going through. Covid could have impacted him badly. Who know what it is until it comes from Jon himself. I have been a fan since the beginning and it breaks my heart to see him struggling and seeing so many other sites criticizing him. This is the best conversation I have seen!! So let’s send him the love and support he needs from his fans. After all he has devoted his life to bringing us music that has touched our souls. We LOVE you Jon !!!!
Hello Janesse..
We supported them long enough,I'm personally done with that.
Thank you so much for your very nice and reply that made sense I'm not so sure that most of these people's IQ is above their shoe size
Thank you for your compassion in your consideration for all that he is given to all his things and will continue to do so I Pray
@@killerofgiants8958 I’ll support Jon and Bon Jovi as long as they continue to make music, if you are done with that then leave the fans that still love them alone.
I’m still a big fan of him even if he losses his voice. That’s fine. Nobody’s perfect everything will change as we get older. But he gave us good memories. I love Bonjovi forever ♥️
Yep you ´re right ! I ´m more of a Metalhead but i still honour what Jon gave to us !!
People paid hundreds of dollars for this crap. He should have pulled the plug if he had any respect for his fans.
The fans should have got a senior citizen discount.
Yes never judge, he could be sick, he could be tired, getting older, anything. We still love him.
@cinnamontwirl992 Nice to see someone act like a decent human. He def has some issues, some suspect his hearing so he can't hear the notes to hit. People know, but they still want to see him. Nobody should be shooting down the choices that bring them joy.
We can all agree that Jon has seen a million faces and Rocked Them All !
I’ve stumbled upon this channel a few times and I must say this guy is incredibly negative.
He needs to relax and appreciate music.
I don’t know if the mid-range guitars in the background gives him confidence (I own at-least one of those) or if he is just naturally a jerk.
With all due respect to the classic bands we love and grew up with, (we could name a few), there comes a time to wrap it up. As we get older, things change, it's the way it is, there is no shame.
Exactly. We aren’t wanting to be cruel or humiliate him. I saw him several years ago in Atlanta and we were kinda shocked because his voice had even changed then. There r only a very few singers who can hit the same notes they hit in their younger years. Every band I loved in my teens and 20’s, if they r still out performing, have had to adjust the high notes in their songs. I’m a Steve Perry fanatic and he def had one of the best ranges out there, but I’m sure he can’t even hit the notes he used to. Sammy Hagar did great with Van Halen and had a fantastic voice but he’s had to change up all his high notes too. Same goes for Def Leppard, Foreigner, Motley Crue etc. I just feel bad for Jon and all the bad publicity he’s been getting. I don’t understand why he’s wanting to keep going out there right now. Some of his latest concerts had me just cringing for him. I think it’s time to bow out while he can still do it somewhat gracefully 🥴
@@staceyroberts3468 He could give up touring for sure but I’d be open to him recording more Bon Jovi studio albums. It would be easier on him to record those since he would be able to take his time without the stress of being on the road all the time.
He's almost 60 and just 2-4 years has actually physically showing us age. All through the 90's, 00's & 2010's he still looked in his 40's. Jon's a music ICON AND A LEGEND!!!
@@staceyroberts3468 - MONEY and he committed to this tour. 💰
@@staceyroberts3468 I think so... I'm with you... You've already done what I think about...
Since Richie left Jon is giving everything he have on the stage; that´s wearing Jon out. In the 80s the band practically had two lead singers (Jon and Richie). I don´t see Jon continuing without Richie, ain´t fun to see him struggling like that.
To me personally, Bon Jovi with out Richie Sambora Bon Jovi band was over. It is like
Jon is a soul but Richie is a heart for the band without of either of these two the band is not gona last ! This is todays band it's getting worse right after Richie quit.
Jon’s the heart on Bon Jovi and Richie was the soul!
Except that Jon now has 4 back up singers behind him now (everyone in the band minus Tico) and they all sing backup in perfect key and timing. Jon's actually carrying much LESS vocal load than he did with Richie beside him. The issue is unfortunately with Jon, not a lack of having a vocal partner.
@@AlanRaviAtchison I agree :)
Riche was the backbone of the band
Aerosmith vocalist, Steve Tyler has voice unchanged despite being much older than JBJ. His voice is incredible till this time, nothing about it has changed at all. The band came out 13 years ahead of JBJ's.
Steve Tyler had the good sense to rest his voice....Jon is a victim of his own balls to the grindstone, non-stop, never say die attitude...The dude needs to slow the fuck down...And i say that with love for him and all he has done.
This is the first time I'm seeing this and I'm sitting here crying. I knew Jon had massive voice problems but seeing it like that breaks my heart. It's especially sad it's happening now that Richie is ready to come back to the band. I hope this is something he can treat.
As a fellow vocal coach and singer that has experienced smth similar to this: This completely sounds and looks like a neuro-vocal problem.... Smth like Brian Littrell (Backstreet Boys) has experienced as well- muscle tension dysphonia. Basically your neurons are miss-firing information and your muscles do not react the way they have been trained, they tend to cramp and this can almost be spastic...It is NOT a thing of anything being technically or physically wrong with a singer. It can be exacerbated by bad technique but it is at it's core a psycho-physical phenomenon. It can get better through breathing and voice therapy and of course psychological help as well, but it is hard to treat once it's manifested itself for a long time. It is very important that the singer regains trust in their voice, vocal abilities and especially enjoys singing. The fact that he is still singing live and clearly trying, means that he is probably extremely aware of the problem but wanting to sing nevertheless. As someone that has been at times of psychological hardship affected by this as well, he has my respect. I hope he has the professional help he needs and the patience required to better this condition.
I was wondering about something like this. I'm not sure when these clips are from, but I wonder if he ever had Covid and if that affected his cords and nasal cavities or something as well.
@@Slambam73 that would for sure not help. I don't think it's the main contributing factor though.
I feel this thread is on the right track w/stress condition manifesting somataform disorder of chronic myofascial contracture. All that connective tissue encasing ever muscle and organ literally choking him.. He sounds like I sound when cervical myofascial sheet coils & knots up from stress & anxiety, pinching nerves and blood vessels running through it, cramping my digastric, mylo-, genio-, and stylohoid thus locking my larynx in a very high position, choking off my range and any mobility out of it. I use heating pads and cupping to loosen it enough to get in there with targeted "Fascia Blaster" tools and release each adhesion individually. Exhausting unless you do daily upkeep. (Fyi- imitation fascia blaster products don't release all 3 layers of fascia and flush the trapped lactic acid that cause so much pain, I spent thousands testing every product, and get no fee or affiliate discount for saying this. I am able to walk and sing again bc of them.). Por Jon. I want him to have a series of these easy, non-invasive treatments w/a pro, to feel if not sing better. He just seems like he's in pain. Whatta heartbreak!
@@Slambam73 Yeah I hear you I can’t sing for shit since I had Covid
@@edmahonejr.9364 yes, I can’t hit high registers after COVID and I’m afraid I’ll never get that back. Ugh. Love to Jon.
It's true his voice is gone but it went scattered around in millions of pieces, each one of them safely locked inside the memories of every single fan who ever bought any BON JOVI record or attended at least to one of their amazing concerts. Thank you Jon for never back down in never even once of your live performances. Hats Off to this great singer and songwriter.
Yes I agree totally theres not many bands that have lasted over 4 decades and wrote loads so amazing songs and alright maybexhes voice is weaker but its the whole experience is seeing this great band I for one have been lucky enough to see him a few times and him and the whole band never disappoint he always gives 100 percent and i for one thank them for that you have to give them credit for all the great music they have given us waiting for the next concert
he is overrated as much as he tries to rewrite history bon jovi was nothing more than a hair band. how this overrated libtard is in the rock hall of fame over foreigner bad company billy squier ted nugent and many more is a joke .
You're so right on. His voice may have shattered but the pieces are with us. His fans.
👏👏👏🙌
You know vocal coach, vocal doctor in vocal speech therapists are very much three different things and unless a QUALIFIED doctor who specializes in the voice like Dr Benninger, looks down a throat and says it's over with, it ain't over. If any vocal coach would have heard my throat right before my surgery you would have said the same thing, Jon probably has a further reach than I did at that time. AFTER a physician who is QUALIFIED to tell you how your throat is, after he looks into your throat, and/or does vocal surgery, and you go to a qualified excellent speech pathologist, and they tell you your voice is fried that's when you throw in the towel. . And only somebody who's looked down your throat, seen what's in there knows, if it can be fixed knows, if it can't be fixed, can tell you that to sit here and say that his voice is shot is wrong on so many levels. Yep he's having a hard time, yep he has a history of severe allergies, yep he's continued to sing to crowds of hundreds of thousands while he had these problems, yep he probably did damage because of that, yep he needs to go to the Cleveland Clinic and see Dr B who by the way is vocal doctor to the Stars literally. Not one of us is qualified to say what's wrong with his voice and vocal coaching as opposed to vocal doctor and speech pathologists are two different things. I went to vocal coach and didn't really help my throat I went to vocal pathologist and I've got Pat benatar range again so seriously just so wrong
DO NOT EVER FORGET what he has given to the age of rock! Despite his age, he passed Covid 19 last year. He just needs the necessary rest.
bullshit he sounded same bad before his covid 19 lie
Did you mean coNvid19??? LMFAO
Let’s not bring the SCAMdemic into this.
With all respect to Jon Bon Jovi- as sad this may be, what a legend he still is, he has made great music over the years that’s for sure!
Á voz muda com a idade ❤
I just love Jon saw him in concert in 2013 and he was amazing! It sounds like it could be a medical problem 😕 I hope he looks into that he will always be loved by his fans!
I agree. I was thinking he had a stroke or something. I have been a fan from Runaway days been on fan club trips. They are the best band that I ever seen hope Jon will be able to get his voice back. They are legends I. My eyes and appreciate all the tours that they have given us!
You didn't see them back in the 80's, 90's & 2000's then. Pitiful since 2010 and on.
@@danielfair4675 In 2013 decrease started, but his tone was still nice until 2016 ish.
We really don't know what the problem is nobody has even considered that he is ill I guess compassion is in shortness in today's world
He says he does vocal exercises everyday for years but it doesn't seem to be working. I feel for him so much. It has to be really hard for him. He wants it so bad.
A very respectful breakdown of an obviously difficult situation. We don’t know what steps Jon has taken to try and fix it. But for sure he’s going to be stressed about it. It’s a shame.
It's no shame coz anything can happen against our wish anytime and that's the course of nature! For sure we all will die one day but still it's not matter of shame!
Jon is a brave man. If I knew my voice was shot I could't go out on stage in front of a ton of people like him. I also wouldn't want to disappoint my fans though... It's time to call it a day it's so embarrassing. I grew up on Bon Jovi, my Mom blasted his songs all the time. This is very sad. I will always love Jon, bu it's time to give Richie his turn and let him lead the band!
The problem is that John nor his band seem to be addressing his vocal trouble. It’s embarrassing to end you’re legacy like that.
Yeh there’s def something bad wrong. It’s not only his voice is going but other odd things too. They just need to go ahead and address it, unfortunately 🥴
John needs to address it not the band. Most of the band are hired guns why would they sabotage their job.
@@staceyroberts3468 Stacey... I had read your comment and was trying to read it to my husband, but I was laughing so hard I had tears and couldn't even read it for a few minutes, when I read " other old things". 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣. Thanks for the laugh.
@@staceyroberts3468 Sorry... " Odd things". Thought I read "old things". Lol.
He should have packed it in long ago and retained some credibility.
He is taking voice lessons everyday now, God Bless Jon Bon Jovi 🙏🏻
That's not what he needs...it's a medical issue
Do you know who from?
where did u know this?
@@isabella-wy7is watching it on a special , his words......
Documentary
Love Jon even if he loses his voice. I get upset when people bad mouth him.
Man, I saw him in 2008 and 2012 and he was still amazing! I hope he gets better!
I love this Band since the 80's. And i always will...no matter what.
Hi sunny how are you doing?
@jonbon jovi 😂😂😂😂😂😂 you cant even write bis Name right...lol
I’m not sure what’s worse Jon’s singing or YOURS every time you bust in after we barely hear him sing 🤦🏼♀️
I feel so sorry for singers when this happens, it must be such a lonely place to be. The expectations on yourself, for your bandmates and fans. There is SO much riding on you, the income you generate for so many people, the joy to so many fans. It was recently shown in great effect when Lewis Capaldi had issues at Glastonbury.
Also a fan of Bon Jovi from the early days and it's sad to see the decline, as people have said. Interesting video, especially the way you are able to break down and analyse aspects of his singing voice. I hadn't seen the clips before and was quite shocked.
You have my full respect , there are several others on RUclips that are pretty much bashing Jon and mostly making fun of him but you aren’t one of them. I love how you state that you aren’t bashing him at the beginning and throughout the video you maintain respect and intelligence. Many thanks to you.
Mine too he has given hisself 100% how completely. He has also provide so much joy and happiness to so many people and I think it is absolutely disgusting that these people do not know the meaning of compassion empathy and I sure don't know the definition of what is wrong with Jon, same as me but thank you so much for your considerate reply
ditto
Man, that hurts to hear. Still a huge Bon Jovi fan. Saw them with Cinderella in KC around "88". Great show!!
I have alot of respect for the guy. I hope this is a temporary thing. We'll see.
Cinderella! Nothing from nothing!
@@johnlucier5654 Another GREAT 80s band.
Great video and commentary. Respectful, even, given the tough task you took on. JBJ is among the very best frontmen in modern rock music, hands down. I've seen them live multiple times and the band is among most quality control act I've ever seen. But that was from 1992-2008. I think around 2010 or his voice took a serious dive downward and to me, it's use, plain and simple. The band was a road horse and toured relentlessly for years on end. Not sure you get over that when you get to his age. He's an absolute legend regardless. Great video.
It's ok with us fans Jon has done 100% for his singing career and memories will stay forever. Thanks a lot for you have done your best performance on stage...We salute you YOUR THE BEST...ALWAYS REMEMBER WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH❤❤❤❤❤
I've listened to Bon Jovi since the beginning. It's sad to hear these performances since Jon has always been a great live performer. I hope this is a temporary problem that will get better. I wish him all the best!
God me too. Praying for him. I’ve loved him from day 1.
Hi am Jon bon Jovi!
Thanks for your efforts and for the great unconditional love on my career, after getting to your remarks here I was overwhelmed and so glad you'll wish me well I love you'll
So we're you watching from?!
That shows me once more, how fit Mick Jagger by the Rolling Stones is. I saw the Stones 3 weeks ago in Lyon. 79 Years old and he nailed it !
He's old, simple fact. Listen to Steve Perry or Paul Stanley, they lost the voice also. When you get old, the vocal chords get weaker and you lose control of pitch. He may also be out of shape which doesn't help push air through the pipes.
And Axl Rose.
@@beckyg8028 Agreed!
I think Jon goes out of his way to stay in shape! It seems heavy smoking hasn’t helped. I think there are other things going on. It hurts my heart! I think Steve Perry had throat cancer. Timothy B Schmit of the Eagles also had throat surgery. He can’t hit those high notes any more. That’s why they brought in Vince Gill. I hope Jon can heal, take a break and come back somehow. I think he would die if he totally had to give up singing. He puts everything into it.
He is not old for a singer. What kills the vocal cords is the smoking, which paralyzes them. You can often bring them back with surgery, if necessary, and proper exercises if the damage is fixable, as Rod Stewart has done. If you take care of your voice, like many of his contemporaries have done, you can still sing strong at 70. Just listen to Pavarotti and the 3 tenors to hear what a well cared for voice sounds like in your 60’s/70’s. As your male/female hormones decrease in your 40’s and 50’s, your vocal range may lower a little, but you should still be able to sing strong. If you have taken care of it, you will actually sound better after 3 decades of building your breathing and vocal muscles, not worse. I have many vocal students in their 60’s whose voice is as strong as ever, and continuing to build yearly.
I'm a singer, and I can tell you that the saying that "if don't use it, you lose it" is very true. You have to use your pipes on the regular so they can work right?😳
Absolutely correct!
This deserves way more views!! Everything you're saying is true. I understand that jon's voice is aging, but that doesnt explain the weird vowels and singing way behind the beat. Its very strange to me.
He’s using twice as much energy that he should use to let that voice out. That doesn’t allow him to recover or catch a breath in time… that’s why he goes out of beat! He gets so tired!!
Maybe covid affected part of the brain that effects information in the speech area. Just a thought.
@@sandyk7611 Convid is a LIE.
@@sandyk7611 Or could be the vaccine
@@ahickin 😲. No doubt. I wonder if he got V? I’ve had that issue with my Larynx prior to Covid so we know mine isn’t from that but I am not surprised you thought that. Not all the masses ……. 😉
I know Jon had COVID at one point. Could that be what's causing his loss of voice? I'm a massive Bon Jovi fan and this really hurts to see him to struggle to sing. Steve Perry is 73 and he can still sing. Maybe not as high as he used to in his Journey days but the voice is still there. Something is wrong with Jon's voice. I know Brian Littrell of the Backstreet Boys had trouble with his voice for a while too. He went and got therapy for it and now he sounds much better. Maybe Jon needs some medical help on getting his voice back. I hate to think it's over for Jon.
i know so heartbreaking..im not ready for him to be done . i could only imagine what it's like for him :( sending my prayers , love and many hugs .much respect to you Jon . mo matter what the future may hold in store ..your still the best
Maybe Jon using too much his voice just for entertain us, but he forgot to rest and did some therapy vocal so that's why he lost too much his voice. Really sad and so sorry for him, Jon Bon Jovi as a rockstar is over now :(
I noticed that during the lockdown recordings from his studies John was articulating on a seemingly contrived manner obviously having difficulty in hitting the right pitch on key notes. He is a artist and great human being let’s hope that he manages to get his voice back.
The best video on this issue I’ve seen so far. I’m glad you’re a fan and not just Jon bashing like other videos I’ve seen. Bon Jovi should have cancelled this tour. Covid damaged his voice. Breaks my heart watching him struggle.I’m hoping and praying his voice recovers and he comes back kicking ass on the next tour. 40th Anniversary
At the end of a show I saw a video where Jon grabbed an inhaler so it's probably a breathing issue that's messing his voice
This is a shame. That’s all I have to say. Jon was one of the greats. Glad to say that I saw Bon Jovi several times in their prime. Were amazing shows.
One thing I would like to add and maybe others have said the same thing. Jon always used in-ears monitors before. Every video of Bon Jovi live he has one monitor and its for lyrics. I used in-ears for a decade now. That being said this time he is using monitors which is completely different than in-ears. I've had to do shows with monitors because of wireless issues and let me tell those shows are hard. You can't hear like you can with in-ears. I'm just wondering if Jon had some issues with in-ears this tour. Ear issue where he couldn't wear them or something like that. Now Jon is not one to make any of that public but something was wrong for him not to be wearing in-ears. There was an interview with Jon and he said this last tour was to see if he can still do it. I know he has had covid and that messed with his voice. Who knows, maybe he is a long hauler and it will be awhile to recover his vocals. Lets Pray for the guys and hope he can recover. God Bless
I have loved Jon since he started singing. But his voice is gone. Been to several concerts, even took my two granddaughters, who also fell in love with him. They even came out and took my girls on stage! But when it’s over, you got to let it go. But we still love you guys Jon! Now my granddaughter is playing their music for her twins!
And if they are restless, she puts on Bon Jovi, and they get quiet and listen.
We’ll always be Bon Jovi fans!! ♥️❤️♥️❤️
Lol dude it's not over. It's one thing smoking...if he quit that ...got blood flow back to his cords he will repair
Losing Richie did not help him at all and I do think he should have had a break after 2011
Hey just watched your video, which may I add was very well put together and I really appreciate how you mentioned this was not a dig at Jon. However, I am a huge fan of Bon Jovi but decided not to go to the gig this year due to the fact I really could not listen to Jon singing. Could this be psychological....looking back since Ritchie left, Jon vocally has not been the same. Could such a traumatic event like Ritchie walking cause this???? Just putting it out there...for me Jon has not been the same.
I've been a fan since they came out and I feel awful for what's happened to Jon's voice. Having said that, I'd be upset if I had paid to see him live like this.
That’s what I keep thinking. I know some fans r saying they r still happy just to get to see him live and they r satisfied with that. But him singing those songs right now 🥴 it’s just not good at all. It just sounds terrible and I know the tickets aren’t cheap
Ive been saying this for a few years now. But 2 things. First he is an old dude now and second, Ritchie Sambora was a huge part of the "Bon Jovi sound". Without his vocals, it doesnt sound the same.
I believe that bon jovi has had a stroke during the pandemic years ago and has kept it a secret other singers older than himself can still sing or he could have throat cancer
In rehearsals they had to see and hear his voice was not right. Very surprised Jon went ahead with the shows. He should have gone to the " covid card " and cancelled until he's back in full voice.
I totally get it. Yes, my favorite band kiss took Bon Jovi out on their first tour, but Paul Stanley’s voice over the last few years has been horrific. Time to bring it to an end.
nothing worse than paying expensive ticket prices to see a bad performance but people love there bands no matter how bad they sound.....i have seen bon jovi probably 10 times or more in my lifetime like a lot of other bands but no longer go anymore because it just isnt the same.Still had a hall of fame career though....but sad when its over
He simply sounds like a person/singer who is tremendously tired/burnt out, nervous, or even depressed, or whatever. Nothing wrong with his chords or the voice itself as is suggested by many of the people analyzing the terrible state he is in. No matter what he is going through I feel so sad for him listening to all these clips
Tired/burnt out, nervous, or even depressed, or whatever. Nothing wrong with his chords??????
Give me a break-he sounds like a man that has had a stroke!
@@mikekaraoke yep. His vocal chords are completely shot. The OP is on a different planet.
@@mikekaraoke I actually thought this, something maybe with his health is holding him back, way back. Hope he’s ok.
He had hard depression in 2014-2016, probably he still is depressed.
@@tilenjk02 no wonder, singing like that. He needs a rest I think.
I love Bon Jovi so much! The idea of him losing his voice is an extremely hard pill to swallow. I'll continue to see him if he tours again, but I won't be expecting it to look/sound like he did back on the Have a Nice Day tour. I do think he should publicly address his voice though. It'd a major elephant in the room that he hasn't talked about.
I think his heavy smoking has taken its toll.
Very well put
Is hard to turn in the towel because we get older... He should be brave, proud and stop now, he will be remembered for his greatest accomplishments, no shame in getting old or giving up on what you have always loved doing, and still LOVE, that's the hardest part!!
Thank you for being kind. It makes me sad. There comes a time however, when we MUST reconsider what we are doing.
Hi!
In my opinion the problem with John's shaky voice is not related to the vocal cords, but it is a neurological problem.
We hope he will be able to recover soon!
P.S. In the meantime it would be better and retire from the scene to avoid these truly horrible fools.
Bye!
A very good and kind commentary. I will always love Jon.
Well done sir! The first video to analyse Jon's singing without slagging him off! I agree with everything you say and believe that it's time to bring the curtain down on the amazing band that was Bon Jovi.
it is heartbreaking to hear him struggle like this. i saw him 4 times in 2013 and he was singing great. went to wembley and coventry in 2019 and he was struggling a bit but overall the shows were still very good. but i am not sure i would want to see him again at that level of performance. hopefully he will get some help and we can hear him sing to a great standard again.
Jon if you're reading these comments, I'm so very sad that I never got to see you in your youth and back when you were in your heyday... I wish you well and back to.health, look after yourself, I've always loved your music and songs,just had my own issues to deal with back then. All the best to you and your band xx
Hello Sally..
The guy is getting old, nothing last forever men, for so many years that he has been singing, it will surely take a toll on his voice. But eventhough he lost his voice, He is still Bon Jovi the legend. He will still go down in history as one of the best front man rock star ⭐ of all time. Huge respect to the guy weather he still got his voice or not.. Because once apon a time on his life, He became the Best Band Vocalist. Everybody will get old and will lost everything we got. thnx for the vid men
Everything in life is a season, Jon is not the only artist who is no longer 100% time catches up with us all enjoy the recordings and past live performances that are available, having said that I would rather listen to performer's of the past than alot of the so called present performer's.
This is kind of sad I hate when good singers lose their voice I pray he gets it back.
We're in this together Jon thanks for your beautiful voice i wish i had just a day of a voice like yours you are blessed. On to the next life chapter. Blessing
We’re in this together?
Sometimes you just gotta throw in the towel- he rocked our worlds for decades
As a vocal Coach for 20 years now, i can tell you, this voice Giant Jon Bon Jovi was, needs to repair his voice with a mixed voice technique. He puts the voice in the mask without using the head voice ( not to be confund with falsetto ), and it ruins his voice.
If you go on tour without having your Falsetto and head voice production at the right place and with the right amount of AIR, you're dead .
as a fellow vocal coach...Please read the lengthy comment I left on the issue.
@@Simplenotion hi, you've probably pointed the problem, there are many reasons, only him knows. I've noticed another point. When you use ear monitors, you seem to have the tendencie to stick to the mic and trust the comfort of your flawless monitoring, but the projection and real natural resonances become poor , leading to un unbalanced voice. To me, it's a part of the problem. But damn how is it possible? he was a great singer !
This is NOT an age thing. This is much deeper than that. This is actual vocal damage due to years of belting out songs in too high a key without warming up first. Jon Bon Jovi has actually admitted he did this when younger.
So, once again this isn’t an age thing. Bryan Adams is older but still sounds great singing his songs in the original keys- because he looked after his voice.
Idol jon bon jovi didn't dissapoint his fans,he gave it all,hope all understands him,bon jovi as we all knew,was the greatest rock star,his band were the greatest band of all times,superb,i salute you idol bon jovi,a living legend
You know, its easy to slag him off at this point as his voice is obviously gone. For good, i don't know, but for now i think he needs to get it sorted out before he goes out on the road and essentially take people's hard earned money and not be able to deliver a solid vocal performance. I am really pulling for him to find his voice again.
Yes, you're dong it for educational purposes: thank you. Taking care of one's voice, especially for singers, teachers, etc. is very important. Personally, I've sang, solo, on gigs, many, many times for 3 or 4 hours. Using falsetto (on the higher pitched parts), I think, is the only reason that I have any good vocal health, left. Don't scream, don't strain... these are mantras that will help to remember, to use your voice with care. Practice keeping your laryx low (don't allow it to rise much when going for high notes.) Sing like you're yawing. Take in air, like you're taking it all the way down to your toes, then use your diaphram to push the air out (use the power of your diaphram to power your singing) These are words that I've learned from vocal experts. They are worth heeding.
Youth can only take you so far . John is still a legend.
Jon, you're always a LEGEND!!!
Crushes my heart to hear his voice going under. He definitely earned all of the respect he deserves. To even still show up and try tells you what he is about. I wouldn't hesitate to go to his concert.
We all gotta cherish what we have when we have it. We have been blessed to see Bon Jovi when his voice was commanding.
Respect is a two way street, if he wants the audience to respect him, he should not sing until he fixes his voice or flat out retire, I went to his concert in Austin and I was very disappointed, he sang even worse than this videos
@@thomasjust2663 I agree
This is painful. It sounds that he has permanent damage down to his voice. Why would they be allowed to tour if this man can’t sing??
"Runaway" is the debut single by American rock band Bon Jovi. It was originally recorded in 1981. He was about 19 years old. People's looks, physical health and voices tend to change. I would think that the real question should be, would you pay a lot of money to see "Jon Bon Jovi" today ?
In a heartbeat!
1981?didnt the album came out in 84
I think a lot of these bands who have spent decades out there don't realize it's over until it's actually undeniably over. Jon Bon Jovi had a superb voice. I just don't think that he and the band thought it would be this bad on tour. Perhaps they realize now it's time to stop but in the middle of a tour you can't just shut it down.
They all do pre-production for a tour. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY they didn’t know it would be this bad.
To go ahead with the project makes them all guilty. Fans should get refunds.
This is BAD.
He started losing his voice around 2002… than got better from 2008-2010 and after that his voice began going down and down…
He was a beast in his prime but overused it. Too many concerts one after the other at the top of his vocals! Also, on top of that, even age is playing its part!
He’s a legend, a great man and used to be one of the best vocalist around at the time! ❤️❤️
Yes; the same has happened to a lot of the hard rock and metal singers from back in the day...no shame, they gave us their all, and if they need to retire to keep themselves healthy now, more power to them. All the love and admiration!!
How About Paul The Beatles voice, his age 80 🙂
@@gustav7355 he hasn’t screamed like Bon jovi tho
@@Slambam73 correct
Yeh, even the groups that were popular back when Jon was touring and in his prime, have had to change up their songs because they can’t sing like they used to.
I’ve seen quite a few videos of Bon Jovi recently, and none of them have been good. It’s sad, but his voice is just gone. He doesn’t have it anymore…even with the lowering of the keys of the songs…it’s just too much. After 40 years of performing, I think he’s used it up. Still a legend.
I noticed it on his last album, he voice sounded very cracked and not great
Bro you have no idea what is sing over and over for many many years!
You don’t sing a F*** to tell this!
So much respect to Bon Jovi to staying singing and making we happy!
ditto
I think it’s neurological and / or he’s lost his hearing to a certain degree.Either way he should not be out charging his fans to see this crap! I am a huge Bon Jovi fan and would never ever go to see him now. I’ve seen him three times at Nassau Coliseum, twice at the meadowlands, and the big show at Giants Stadium (1st one) This is just awful!!!!!
Hi Leon, thank you for you analysys. What's interesting, to be honest, is that Jon has never used the floor monitors before. He is now. Can it be hearing issues?
You know the more I think about it the more I think it's as much in his head as his voice. The change in monitors may be a symptom of that.
I wish people would STOP saying it's age! If you look after your voice, you can sing well until your dying day! Research before jumping on the band wagon! It's simply a very sad case of not looking after his voice and it has caught up with him. He never used to warm up and went out to sing songs like Livin' on a prayer night after night!? It's going to ruin your voice eventually.
This was painful to watch. I do appreciate the respect you showed as you broke it down.
I want to know why u think his voice has declined so quickly, 2010,11,12,13 he still delivered unbelievably well, then all of a sudden no voice!!
I actually saw them live twice in 2019 in the uk and the shows were superb and he actually sounded good, then roll on 3 years and barely any voice left, and 2 of those years were off due to Covid.
It seems very strange to me.
If you saw him just prior to the pandemic, is there a chance that he himself got covid and suffers from the lasting damage of long covid? Admittedly, I haven’t followed the band in about a decade so not sure if he had been ill with anything recently.
2 shoots plus the booster probably
I stumbled across this video. It is my understanding he has severe allergies. I'm a vocalist and a guitarist and when my allergies have kicked up I will tell you it's really difficult to sing. Mine don't kick up as often as his. Like I said it is my understanding he has severe allergies. Maybe he should go see Dr Mike Beninger at the Cleveland Clinic he could probably help him. Is after all doctor to the Stars
Hello Christina how are you doing today?
I think he has serious hearing loss, it sounds to me like he's trying to track the sound coming out of himself,and with muscle memory from his vocal chords alone he's trying to replicate the sounds, but he can't hear it..
I'm only three mins into the video, and it already sounds to me like he doesn't have any monitoring. It could be his hearing that's diminished, too.
I look at it like this... ..if you were a child of the 80s, remember, these bands gave us a ton of enjoyment. The music helped us thru some hard times. I feel these bands owe us nothing. They did the job for us. I get Bon Jovi, Paul Stanley and David Lee Roth just to name a few, have lost vocal ability. But Damn, they were dynamic back in the day. I will always remember them for that.
They've been making music along time. Everything your saying true! I hope he gets through it.
This happens when you love your craft so much, that it becomes an obsession, like a flame that burns its own candle. There is a limit in everything, since we are just humans. He is a legend and I believe he should start chilling out because he deserves it after all the years of hardwork.
Saw them as an opening for Scorpions in Chicago when their song was "Runaway" Scorpions gave them an 8 ft stage/with equipment. and 10% light show...they pulled it off,, I was impressed
Damn that sucks I love Bon Jovi!! No matter what 💗
Nice analisis‼️
One thing though, he had covid 2 times and could that have had an effect on his voice?
He wasn't exactly nailing it in the previous tour in 2017〜2019 but it got even worse this tour.I thougt that there was improvement in the show in 2021(although it was heavily autotuned),he wasnt out of timing this much,have a look at have a nice day (he nailed that) I don't how he could go this bad in a single year.I recommend you to see the 2022 keep the faith performance he could hit certain high parts.
That's all, hope he get's better.
Your right maybe he still has effects from covid I saw him at the end of a show from this last tour Jon reached for an inhaler and took a breath from it so yeah that might the case
I had reduced lung capacity for 3 months after omicron. It very well could be part of it.
He's been kicking ass his whole life. From the early band. To keeping them. Relevant all these years. And a great buisnessman above all. Only a few of our 80s artists are still touring superstars .He is one of them. No regrets.
His life is one that could not have been scripted any better. No king in history has enjoyed what JBJ has experienced.
I have a few theories about this. Jon started smoking reportedly around 1994 until at least 2010 when the band insurance became excessive because of it and he reportedly stopped then. At one point Jon fired Doc McGhee and then took on the Manager role or CEO role as he called it as well as being songwriter singer, entrepreneur, philanthropist, actor.... workaholic. I suspect this made his smoking worse, a nervous habit. A singer in a band on gig days should lay relatively low and save everything for the show, he stopped doing that and took on too much, then he lost Richie his right hand man and harmonising, supporting back up voice. He had some depression it's thought, his daughter overdosed on Heroin, a lot of stress, he ran football teams, got into politics, too much going on. All of this lead to some kind of health incident of some kind that's affected his voice.
He truly was one of the best with amazing control pretty much right up until Richie left. He should have stepped down as soon as these problems appeared as he has such an amazing legacy it's a shame to tarnish it.
I feel bad for the guy.in his day his voice was just unbelievable. No one will ever top him.
Hello Lynda..
I have noticed a physical deterioration in his appearance in the last few years .I am not a fan but have always seen him as a good looking man.However when I saw how drastically he had aged I was shocked in such a short spaceoftime. I am now beginning to wonder if Ritchie had seen the signs well before the public did and decided to abandon the ship before it sinks.It must be very painful for him to witness this happening to his very close friend and may have felt that it was time to throw in the towel. And Jon not having Ritchie may have only exacerbated the situation. He should pull out now if he wants to do his fans or himself any justice. Very sad.
I agree he seems to be aging extremely fast and hardly recognizable. He doesnt look healthy . Something is definitely affecting his voice . Its probable hes losing his hearing but seems more like a medical condition of some kind.
People on here saying how sad or heartbreaking it is to see Jon perform this way... really? He sings and dances for a living. He cannot do it like he did 20 years ago. Comparing him to other musicians his age that are performing better means nothing. He is a different person with his own issues with aging. Jon Bon Jovi has given thousands of stellar performances that most of you could not do on your best day. As long as the fans want to show up for him, then rock the fk on Jon.
VERY WELL PUT
I didn’t recognize any of the songs until you announced them. I’m a huge fan of Bon Jovi, so it’s sad to hear this!
