While promoting the upcoming Hulu series in late February,Jon opened up about his health.“My craft was being taken from me,” he said of his vocal cords, which were “atrophying.”
“I say in the film, and in the latter episodes, if I just had my tools back, the rest of it I can deal with,” he said. “I can write you a song, I can perform as well as anybody. But I need to get my tools back.”
