If Jon stopped drinking and smoking, if he resumed vocal exercises and if he enjoyed again what he does he could sing great again. He couldn't have the famous high notes back because of his age (aging = hormonal change = physical changes such as a lower voice) but he would be able to sing in tune and with power.

Its not really a muscle as such, but like any part of the body - if abused it can never be fixed. Plenty of examples of this like lungs, teeth, the spine, lower back muscles, knee. Because of Jon's abuse, not only screaming in the 80s and 90s), smoking heavily for all his adult life has ruined his best asset. He only has himself to blame
