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.
