Jon Bon Jovi has accepted ageing

Jon told the How to Fail with Elizabeth Day podcast: "Well, I'm fine with it, I'm not gonna ever get work done and my hair is grey and at least I still have my hair.

"I haven't had any surgeries, operations, Botox injections, eye jobs or lip jobs or whatever the hell else you do these days. I'm not interested in any of that, nor would I do it."

The Bon Jovi frontman admits that he sometimes yearns to look as youthful as he did when he first found fame with the Livin' on a Prayer band during the 1980s.

He said: "You know, I look at pictures of me now, I'm not happy about it. I look at 30, 40, 50, and I go, 'Yeah, I would rather look like that', but I don't."

However, the singer has found that there are positive aspects of getting older.

Jon explained: "Wisdom.

"These next couple years can be great if I'm physically right - because of the wisdom. The rollercoaster ride of getting punched in the face forces you to take stock in any - and everything.

"And health, of course, is No. 1 on the list. You can always make a buck. You can always write another song. But your health is key to the universe."

Bon Jovi have sold over 130 million records worldwide but Jon doesn't rely on "numbers" to measure his success.

He said: "It's not measured in terms of any numbers. Numbers don't mean it. They're not relevant. Relationships, family, legacy. Not necessarily in that order. Family obviously would be first. Keeping my family sane and together would be No. 1."

Jon will be hitting the road with Bon Jovi on the You Give Love a Bad Name band's Forever Tour in 2026 and is "grateful" to be back to full health after undergoing vocal cord surgery three years ago.

Speaking to Sky News, he explained: "The band and even the crew, they showed me a whole other level of brotherhood and commitment and love for three plus years when, you know, there's no money coming in. And their families are waiting on that. And they never lost faith, which helped me to keep fighting."
