JBJ confirmed (no direct source of speech) in his MusicCares speech, that MusicCares payed for his Vocal Surgery and discussed this with Shania Twain.

The big test is can JBJ can make any realistic improvement singing Live anymore....If he achieves anything to 2011 Tour Voice will be an achievement. Even pre 2022 America Tour voice will be acceptable to some fans now.

John Shanks can still do tricks in the studio. But it will be interesting to see IF there will be any noticeable vocal improvement on this Album and any future Album, that's if JBJ takes care of his remaning vocal voice.

The clip of JBJ with Shania Twain is on Bon Jovi Talk Twitter.
