Last month, while talking to PEOPLE, the singer stated, “I’d often joked and said the only thing that’s ever been up my nose was my finger.

It is simply about the joy.” Jon Bon Jovi had been on his 9-run sold-out tour, which marked his first major performance after his vocal cord surgery 4 years ago.
