Jon Bon Jovi has performed a full concert with Bon Jovi for the first time in over three years.

The rock legend has been battling voice issues for several years, and he told fans in February 2024 that he was recovering from surgery for an atrophied vocal cord.

Speaking to Planet Rock at the time, Jon said he was getting “dangerously close” to touring with Bon Jovi, saying: “I’m working hard and I’m feeling better every day, and it’s been years (since Bon Jovi’s last full gig) and it has sucked!”

Bon Jovi have since performed a handful of songs at some private shows, however last Saturday night (14th June) they performed their first full concert since April 2022.

The Runaway Tours exclusive show took place at the Marathon Music Works venue in Nashville, Tennessee in front of just 1,500 lucky fans.

Bon Jovi played a 17-song set peppered with classics from their distinguished career, including ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’, ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’, ‘It’s My Life’ and ‘Keep the Faith’.

Mobile phones were strictly banned at the event, so no fan-filmed footage has emerged online.

Joan Baez released Diamonds and Rust, a song that has since become one of her most iconic works — not just for its lyrical beauty, but for the story it told.
