As for openness, some of those 2016 interviews were a lot more candid about his vocal struggles than I had expected. Jon admitted to not being able to sing anymore as much as he could without directly saying "I suck". That's as good as we're gonna get with him still having tickets to sell.
In fairness though the parts that people sing were expected to change as the line-up did. To go from:

Jon, Bobby, Phil, David and Hugh
Jon, Matt, Phil, David and Hugh
Jon, Shanks, Everett, David and Hugh

Could have a lot to do with new voices meaning different people sing different parts. I think Jon's weakened voice had a lot to do with it but that's why Everett was brought in.
