Jon Bon Jovi reveals why Shania Twain is his ‘spirit sister’
While talking to People recently, Jon Bon Jovi spoke at length about his friend Shania Twain and the vocal cord surgery.
“She’s been my spirit sister in this,” said Bon Jovi. He also revealed that Twain went to the same doctor regarding the same surgery before he had his surgery in 2022.
When he was suffering from a vocal cord issue, the rock singer took Shania’s advice on doing a vocal cord surgery. He found out that she was the only other person he knew who had the surgery, with his doctor Robert Sataloff.
“She's the only other one I've known that's ever had this surgery, with this doctor, and the only reason I found that out is because she reported it in the press,” Bon Jovi shared.
The rock singer further added, “Not only did she reassure me that it would be OK, but I think she also pulled my leg a little bit because she told me I'd be out there a lot sooner than I have been. She says, ‘Well, I told you that because I knew that you might back out otherwise.' And so, I couldn't wait to get the operation.”
Moreover, the singer didn’t address the issue until he and his wife Dorothea had a conversation when he was on tour in the same year. Following that, Bon Jovi mentioned he realized that it would be better to either seek medical help or retire from music.
