00:00You've said, if you can't be the Jon Bon Jovi
00:02that you always have been, you're not gonna do it.
00:05Where are you with the voice at the moment?
00:06How is it?
00:07You know, what people will see in the film
00:08is it had been shot a year and two years ago.
00:11Okay.
00:12So I'm much further along in the process now.
00:15We have a new album that's coming out in June.
00:18I had no issues singing it.
00:19The successful surgery happened.
00:22Now it's all a part of the rehabilitation of a vocal cord.
00:26You gotta remember, your vocal cords
00:27are as big as your thumbnail.
00:29They're this big, you know?
00:31And it's out of your control, really.
00:33And every time you sing, they work really, really hard.
00:35They work hard.
00:36The way you sing.
00:37You know, for 40 years, they've worked hard.
00:38He's the original front man.
00:40Yeah.
00:41You know?
00:42But it's coming along.
00:44Thank you.
00:45And so, do you think there is a chance you'll tour again?
00:48Because in the documentary,
00:49you compare it to Tiger Woods, actually.
00:52Yeah, coming back to the mountains, yeah.
00:54And being kind of 80% of-
00:57100% of 80%.
00:58Exactly.
01:00Do you think you will-
01:01That's unacceptable.
01:02That's unacceptable to you?
01:03My hope is to, my intention is to-
01:06But if you're not at 100%-
01:08Then I'm done.
01:09You know, it'd be that simple.
01:10But like I'd said, believe me, folks,
01:12thank you very much,
01:12but I'm very far down the road of recovery at this point.
01:15I'm not there yet.
01:17But for me, the bar is that two and a half hours a night,
01:20four nights a week.
