The box set DVD rings a bell....I remember the guys in the studio listening to "Satellite", Jon & Richie were laughing at how high they used to sing. I think it was around the time of Crush that I also remember Richie saying Jon's voice has "matured" a lot.

A great tried and tested way to build emotion into a song is to raise the vocal pitch for the chorus. I was hoping that would happen in the new version of "Last Man Standing". I think the song could have been much better if Jon could have sung the chorus an octave higher but unfortunately it wasn't to be.

I always wonder if it would be physically possible for Jon to get his range back with work. Quit smoking (if he still is), new vocal techniques etc etc. It's not unheard of at all, I've just never seen any signs that Jon is bothered by it now so I'm guessing he either just doesn't discuss it, or he's perfectly happy with his voice.
