I highly doubt it but what r your thoughts ?
There's the note G and the key of G. The note G is the highest note Jon will sing on the new album (there goes the possibility of a rock album), but he will sing higher live.

The highest note in LOAP before the modulation ("key change") is a high C. The same note that is in the long "livin' on a prayer" right before the solo. With the bands' instruments tuned down half (or a whole) step, he can hit it, usually.

After the modulation (where LOAP goes from Em/G to Gm/Eb), the highest note would be D#. Jon hasn't hit that live in decades, even with down-tuned instruments.
