\n\tFour years after surgery for a strained vocal cord prompted Jon Bon Jovi<\/a> to take a break from touring, the singer says he\u2019s ready to hit the road for Bon Jovi\u2019s upcoming Forever tour<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m fully recovered,\u201d he recently told People<\/a>. \u201cIt was longer than I\u2019d ever expected, but it had to be right. We never lost faith.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBon Jovi also had complimentary words for his bandmates, whose patience he praised. \u201cThey never doubted [me] and never looked for work or decided to retire,\u201d he told the magazine. \u201cThe sacrifices that each one of them have made to be there for me is on a whole \u2018nother level. They said, \u2018No, we\u2019re with you.\u2019 Every day of every rehearsal they were there with me. My love for them has only deepened.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe singe told People that taking a break helped him to start \u201cliving in the today,\u201d and that by being more consciously present he\u2019s more appreciative of family, including his grandchildren, and even meeting strangers and playing tennis with them at his Palm Beach, Florida residence. But now he\u2019s prepared to kick off Forever with a residency at Madison Square Garden beginning July 7. Bon Jovi will head to the U.K. and Ireland later this summer.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think that this is a rebirth,\u201d Bon Jovi told People. \u201cIt is simply about the joy.\u201d<\/p>\n
