Jon Bon Jovi nearly quit music after sustaining a devastating vocal cord injury.

The legendary rocker admitted he was close to walking away for good before his vocal cord surgery helped save his career.

Bon Jovi realized something "wasn't working" after a 15-show tour, he said during an appearance on the podcast " How to Fail with Elizabeth Day ." At the end of the final show, he told his wife he thought it was "pretty good," but his wife disagreed.

At that point, Bon Jovi said, "I don't think I could do this anymore. I don't know why, but I'm okay with walking away from this because there's no way I'm dragging down the legacy."
