Jon also addressed his health, three years after he suffered a T7 vertebra fracture in three places, a severe injury that had left him relying on a wheelchair. Additionally, he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and Ménière's disease.
"I've been dealing with some serious health issues, and right now I'm looking at having surgery on my back," Jon wrote. "The truth is, as it stands, I'm in a lot of pain… and I haven't been able to sing the way I should. That's been one of the hardest things for me to face. I'm also not able to fly anymore, which has made things a lot more complicated when it comes to getting out there and doing what I love. But… and this is important… it hasn't stopped me. In fact, we've been working on ways around that."
"There are talks happening about putting together some U.S. dates for SAVATAGE — finding a way to make it happen that works with everything going on. We're looking at next spring or summer if everything comes together the way we hope. Nothing I can officially announce just yet, but it's being worked on, and it means a lot to me to even be able to say that."
Jon also touched upon SAVATAGE's upcoming live album, which was captured on June 29, 1990 at the Palace in Los Angeles, California during the "Gutter Ballet" tour. The effort was recorded by SAVATAGE's then-touring lineup consisting of Jon on lead vocals and piano, Criss Oliva on lead guitar, Chris Caffery on guitar, Johnny Lee Middleton on bass and Steve "Doc" Wacholz on drums.
"I also want to say thank you in advance for supporting the new live album that's coming out soon," Jon wrote. "That release means a lot to me, and I really hope you all enjoy it and feel the energy that's always been a part of what we do."
On the topic of SAVATAGE's long-in-the-works new studio album, Jon wrote: "I know it's been a long road. Probably longer than any of us ever expected. There have been delays, setbacks, and a lot going on behind the scenes — some of it musical, some of it just life throwing punches like it always does. But I want you to know something straight from me… I'm still here. And so is the music.
"There's been a lot of work happening — real work," he assured fans. "Writing, revisiting ideas, digging into that place where the songs come from… that place that's always been at the heart of everything we've done. It's not about rushing something out the door. It's about making sure that when you hear it, you feel it. The way it's supposed to be. Yeah, health stuff has slowed me down at times… not gonna lie. But it hasn't stopped me. If anything, it's made me more determined to finish what we started and bring you something that's worthy of the name and everything it stands for.
"I know you've all been patient — more patient than I could ever ask for — and I don't take that lightly," he continued. "The loyalty, the messages, the stories you've shared with me over the years… that's what keeps me going. That's what makes this matter.
"So here's the truth: things are moving forward," Jon added. "Maybe not at lightning speed, but they're moving the right way. And when the time comes, you'll know. You'll hear it. And I promise you this… it's going to be something special.
"Thank you for sticking with me through all of it. The ups, the downs, and everything in between. We're not done yet… not even close," Oliva concluded.
"Stay with me."
Three songs recorded at SAVATAGE's 1990 Palace concert were previously released on the "Ghost In The Ruins - A Tribute To Criss Oliva" live album, which came out in 1995: "Gutter Ballet", "When The Crowds Are Gone" and the instrumental "Post Script", the latter of which was captured during soundcheck.
