Jon would have to lower his asking price to make this work.
Ultimately it's Jon's instrument and lack of willingness to mix things up that eventually stops this from happening. While he could rely on the band to cover for him at the start of the This House Is Not For Sale Tour just 2 years later he needed the band to pretty much do his job and was merely there for entertainment value.
Considering how every performance since the tour has been doctored beyond belief there's little reason to believe he has recovered from all of this. If anything, he's gotten worse and there's just no way he'd be able to do an entire gig, let alone a 20 date tour.

Spot on. I completely agree with you.
Jon's current vocal problems are so severe that he's never going to really recover from them and will continue to sound very bad for the rest of his career. Which part about it is so hard for people to understand and accept? Your voice doesn't come back once it disappears like that.
On the other hand, Jon supporting the Democrats also seems to have made many former American fans turn their backs on him - and that I still can't humanly understand...
