Jon Bon Jovi shares which song encapsulates his life currently
Jon Bon Jovi, who recently suffered health challenges, shares which one final song he would perform in front of an audience if things got worse...
In 2022, Jon Bon Jovi had vocal cord surgery and his voice was affected.
This has resulted in him being unsure as to whether he will perform again, but he says he is hopeful.
In a recent interview with Classic Rock, Jon was asked 'if worst comes to worst and he could have one final song to perform in front of an audience, what would it be?'.
The singer said the question put him on the spot.
"Oh my God – just one?! That puts me on the spot..." he said.
He went on to choose his 90s hit, 'These Days', which he produced with Peter Collins and Richie Sambora.
"The first one that came to mind would be These Days, which I guess nobody would ever think, but 'These days, the stars seem out of reach/These days, there ain't a ladder on the streets/These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age/There ain't nobody left but us these days'," he said.
He went on to explain that he would choose the song because it encapsulates his life currently.
"I think that sort of encapsulates where I am at this moment in time," he told the publication.
