The Role of Dorothea Hurley
As a famous musician, Jon Bon Jovi is used to people telling him what he wants to hear. However, his wife, Dorothea Hurley, isn’t one of them. In fact, she played a crucial role in helping him realize that there was something wrong with his voice. During the band’s 2022 tour, Jon’s vocal problems became a hot topic, and they reached a breaking point after the final show in Nashville. Jon had tried everything to sing as well as he did in his prime, but he knew that something was off. After the show, his wife told him the harsh truth – that his performance wasn’t good. This was a crushing blow for Jon, who was used to being in control of the crowd’s reactions. He realized that his voice was broken and that he needed to get help.
Jon’s Struggle with Vocal Problems:
After years of performing night after night, Jon’s voice started to deteriorate. He tried various treatments and techniques to try to fix the issue, but nothing seemed to work. By the time of the Nashville show, Jon had come to terms with the fact that he needed to seek professional help. He turned to a doctor in Philadelphia who performed a procedure called medialization. This is an uncommon procedure in vocal surgery that involved pushing Jon’s paralyzed vocal fold to the middle, so that the functioning vocal fold could close properly.
