As Rockstar Games have just released the Grand Theft Auto VI cover art and set the first pre-order date, we thought we'd look at all the things we got before GTA 6...

Jon Bon Jovi has shared the good news that he's "fully recovered" from vocal cord surgery, and he's ready to hit the road with Bon Jovi next month.

The rock icon revealed in February 2024 that he was recovering from surgery for an atrophied vocal cord.

Reflecting on his vocal cord issues in a new People interview, Jon said: "I’d often joked and said the only thing that’s ever been up my nose was my finger. I never did anything to hurt the cords; I didn’t have any excesses. I’m a trained vocalist. I’ve practiced the craft.

"So when a doctor had to explain to me that one of the cords was literally atrophying, it was confusing."

Thankfully, after surgery and a lot of hard work with vocal coaches, 64-year-old Jon is now proud to confirm, "I’m fully recovered."

"It was longer than I’d ever expected, but it had to be right. We never lost faith," he explained.

Bon Jovi play a New York Madison Square Garden residency throughout July before coming to the UK and Ireland for outdoor shows in Edinburgh and Dublin, and a three-night London Wembley Stadium residency.
