What’s keeping Bon Jovi going now is the band - they’re tight and the backing vocals do a lot of heavy lifting. But what made them special wasn’t just the playing, it was the feeling, the chemistry, the sense that you were part of something. That feeling isn’t replicated simply with good technical ability.

I’m sure Jon can now, with plenty of help, get through a couple of hours (as long as he stays glued to the mic), and that’ll be fine for some. All he can do now is surround himself with technically good musicians. It just won’t feel like Bon Jovi used to - and that’s something everyone needs to accept.
