I got to see him perform in NY at a small venue. He was amazing. Prayers for healing and even if he doesn't return to touring, he still is an amazing musician and will always have a place in blues history.
I went to school with Jonny (Langseth) through 8th grade when he was playing the local bars in Fargo. Have love following his journey since and wish him and his family all the best.
Only take care of your health first. If your fans are really fans they will support you in what ever you decide to do and do it at your own pace not the fans pace. God Bless you
LOVE Jonny Lang! I was lucky enough to see him live twice! Praying for a full recovery, as the world is better with Jonny making music! For now, I would love to see other players invite Jonny to guest on songs, guitar wise at least! He is a gift from God!
As a fan, I would want him to heal completely. I would never want him to cause permanent damage to his vocal chords. I wouldn't want to hear him doing AI...I would welcome an instrumental because he's an amazing guitarist. All in all, whatever is best for him is what I would want for him. I'm sure it's hard on him not to be able to do what he wants to do but sometimes we don't get to make those choices when parts of our body just don't co-operate or heal. He's made his place in history forever...it will never go away. I will be praying for him.
I first heard him while I was working as a critical care Covid nurse and my spouse was dying of cancer. He spoke to my soul. I hope he comes back as anything he does has to be phenomenal!
I echo the posts of so many others and want only the best for Jonny in health and life. I pray that his relationship with his family is as close as ever. I have been so in awe of his God given talents for a lot of years. Do what gives you peace Jonny. 🎶🎸
From the beginning, Jonny put his all into every bit of his music and we all had to wonder how long would he be able to sing like that? There are limits and he shouldn't be expected to keep doing what he did decades ago. Whatever he decides to do he'll do it with integrity, I have no doubt. He's a great guitar player so he'll always have that. Like other singers who damaged their vocal cords over time, he may adapt to another kind of singing which may lead to an entirely different kind of expression. Though not a perfect comparison, Robert Plant was unable to sing as his former self but went on to explore all kinds of music. He sings now in his natural voice which entirely suits him. When Jonny decides what to do, we'll all find out.
Johnny is the best. I love his guitar playin and have incorporated some of his licks into my music. I will pray for his recovery,he has always givin 150%.
I was in high school talking my first guitar class when Jonny Lang came out. He's been one of my favorite blues guys since. He's a damn good dude too in person. So much passion in his playing/singing. It would be nice to at least seem him out playing on a stage. It's worrisome that he's been very quiet the past few years without a word.
I will support him with whatever he chooses. Although I am not a fan of the whole AI idea. I never actually physically met him, but i did see him in a free 4th of July outdoor concert at a park in Iowa City, Iowa. At that time, he was nobody. But let me tell u, the whole dang park was in awe when he took stage! Young ladies were storming the stage because he was a cutie. He was young. He is so talented in all that he does. I wish nothing but the best for him. Good luck Johnny!
Soooo incredibly happy and thankful I got to see him in a smaller venue in Philly a few years ago. He's an amazing musician, I've been a fan since the late 90's, I wish him all the best and support him in whatever he chooses to do.❤
I saw Jonny in Baltimore at The Pier Six Pavilion years ago with Buddy Guy and The Robert Cray Band when he first came out with "Lie to Me" he was awesome and so young. I wish him the best and totally support him.
I've seen him twice and had tickets to meet him in Dec. 2019. He has been my favorite artist since i was 15, 24 years. I hope he recovers but I think if he come back and couldn't sing, he should put out an instrumental cd. Most of his fans love the voice and guitar and I think would be happy to even hear him play. He puts on an amazing show.
Have been going to see Jonny perform since he was 16. My 13 y/o daughter joined me. We continued going to his show every time he came to DC or Fla. we met Jonny and he is such a kind and humble young man. When my daughter was in Med School in Baltimore Jonny’s singing and guitar playing helped her with stress. He came another year after she was married with a baby and her clinical rotation prevented her from going to show with me. Jonny made a video with me saying Happy Birthday Maxine. We miss you I have been heartbroken knowing Jonny has been suffering with his beautiful soulful voice. I’ miss seeing him all through these years of COVID and negative energy in our country. Jonny coming back in any way he chooses I will support. I feel like his surrogate mom.
I remember seeing him at the release event for his first CD at the Hard Rock Cafe in Houston, TX. I've always been a fan, and I had wondered why i hadn't heard anything in quite some time about him. I wish him nothing but the best no matter which path he chooses
Jonny I constantly look for new music...but until then I'll still listen to all your music which never gets old. Praying for a full recovery you can't be replaced ❤
First: praying for Jonny, that the Lord may heal his voice. But if that doesn’t happen for a while, maybe he can join a band and rip that guitar at for us. Those guitar solos were some of the best parts of his live performances.
I’ve had Jonny on my show and he’s a really great guy, and wildly talented. I hope he comes back in some capacity. I would love to see a Blues Super Group with other players
Jonny is a great guy and I wish him the best in whatever he does. A talented, humble musician he could pretty much do whatever road he decides to go down. Good luck Jonny!!
I've seen Johnny twice and his gift is phenomenal. The potential permanent loss of it for himself? Must be devastating. Praying he heals, so that he can continue to share that gift and do the thing he loves so much. 🙏❤️
I love his Voice but what I treasure more is Him Playing and making that guitar Come Alive with SOUL. He needs to do what is Best for him and his Family. I miss my other Darlin Jeff Healey - these two young men got me through some tough times listening and feeling their music. Can't ever forget SRV. We have been Blessed Folks to live in times these gifted Guitar Players were giving us their Best.
I'd rather see him embrace his situation and continue like John Prine did to see how awesome his music could be with the voice God gave him. Who knows, could be a next level of Johnny Lang we haven't seen yet. I lost most of my ability to play guitar anymore as a guitarist due to a spine injury, still perform when asked and do the best I can. Not as good as I was once, but still good enough to make it happen. Hopeful he is too.
I didn't know he had issues....what happened to him? I have his first two albums and they're awesome...he can do whatever he wants...if your voice breaks, hire a singer Johnny....you can write songs and play the hell out of a guitar....don't think it'll end your career at all.
If I were to guess, I would say if he does vocal work in the future, it will be with a less aggressive style. I think he could pull that off. He will do what he is able to do. He's a talented guy.
It would be amazing to just hear him come back as the crazy amazingly talented guitarist he is!! If it at all possible I want to hear his NATURAL voice!!!! Hope he feels better!!
I have just been watching a DVD of Mick Fleetwood and Friends which celebrated the music of Peter Green. It featured an all star cast including Jonny Lang who played back up guitar throughout and actually sang two numbers--Homework and Need Your Love So Bad. It was recorded on 25 February 2020.
Who would dare want for themselves over someone’s well being and health? To be that selfish to need so satisfied? I hope the best for Johnny Lang as he indeed is a prodigy. May the forces that made him come together again and again surprise us all. It seems to be “His” thing. Let it be, and it will be.
No need for singing his guitar does it for him. Take Jeff Beck. He can have guest singers if he must, but really ppl just want to see and hear him play.
4 years of treatment and therapy would seem sufficient for recovery.Hope he got 2nd ,3rd opinions from specialists and hoping he can return singing as usual.Sometimes pro athletes suffer career ending injury's when their body doesn't respond. Not a fan of the AI thing especially at his age.
Jonny Lang has (had) a voice that could lead a blues band even if he couldn't play a lick. He has a guitar voice that can star in a band if he doesn't sing a lick. He could find himself a singer and be the guitarist. Robin Trower model.
We miss you❤ but you must take of yourself. Life is short spend time with your family .If you join another band ill be right there to support you. I have been listening to you since the beginning your true fans aren't going anywhere. God Bless you and your family and Take care of yourself
I saw him as an opening act when he was 16 and he came on and just SCREAMED the entire show - great guitar player but he ruined his voice with the way he sang....
The way he sings, voice problems were inevitable. Love his voice, but you can hear it become more problematic over the years. He’s a great musician and performer. Good luck Jonny. (Don’t fucking experiment with AI.)
I’ve heard that Laing is going to make contemporary Christian music but has now found out that he can’t make a living doing that. So I don’t know what to think. I just wish she would hire a good singer and play guitar.
I vote he either joins a killer band as a guitar player.. Or does an instrumental record and waits and see about his voice.. He's way too talented to quit now. I don't dig the AI idea.
When he was younger his videos do not depicted he just screams… and years of singing does not happen just ask faith hill she had nodules and opted to have surgery… you cannot sing with nodules… one way to get them is to do shows as often as Jonny did and have a bad sound man as this effects a great artist have vocal cord troubles… and nodules can be removed with proper natural remedy i wish Jonny would reach out to me so i can share my story and the remedy… i got rid of vocal cord nodules and they NEVER CAME BACK
I have often wondered about him, but life gets in the way, and lose track. I would love to see him make some new music, and I would be okay if he had someone else singing, Honestly, as a guitar player myself, I really only focused on his playing. AI is definitely not the answer! I am on YT often, and I am getting increasingly annoyed with AI narration. It is absolutely awful!
He could find a singer for his band like Kenny Wayne Sheperd has had and just concentrate on guitar. Doesn't have the chops of Kenny Wayne I guess but who does?
This is not entirely accurate. I was his opening act in 2013 (or 12, forgot) on his tour dubbed "fight for my soul". He was a super generous host and killed it every night
NO AI . . . AI is not artistry. The blues should only come from the real voice. My hope is that he regains his voice and continues to deliver soul driven blues, but "synthesis" is not the blues.
So, all this almost 5 minute clip to basically say the same what Jonny's facebook page. We don't know. Waste of your and your viewers time. Thanks BRR.
Jonny Lang was the original John Mayer. I miss him but I hope he’s living his best life. If ever he’s ready to come back out, I’m buying tickets.
I got to see him perform in NY at a small venue. He was amazing. Prayers for healing and even if he doesn't return to touring, he still is an amazing musician and will always have a place in blues history.

I support Jonny 115 %…. I’ll wait on you brotha
LOVE Jonny Lang! I was lucky enough to see him live twice! Praying for a full recovery, as the world is better with Jonny making music! For now, I would love to see other players invite Jonny to guest on songs, guitar wise at least! He is a gift from God!
I've seen him LIVE 20+ times (I've lost count). I'd love to see him LIVE 20+ more times in whatever capacity he's capable of.
As a fan, I would want him to heal completely. I would never want him to cause permanent damage to his vocal chords. I wouldn't want to hear him doing AI...I would welcome an instrumental because he's an amazing guitarist. All in all, whatever is best for him is what I would want for him.

I always dreamed of him and Kenny Wayne collaborating together

There is no better blues guitarist and his voice is magic!
Instrumental album would be fantastic.
Johnny is the best. I love his guitar playin and have incorporated some of his licks into my music. I will pray for his recovery,he has always givin 150%.

I saw him twice at the Biggest free Blues,Concert in Sioux city,Iowa called Saturday In the Park!
@@willietrotter6530 nice!
Soooo incredibly happy and thankful I got to see him in a smaller venue in Philly a few years ago. He's an amazing musician, I've been a fan since the late 90's, I wish him all the best and support him in whatever he chooses to do.❤
I saw Jonny in Baltimore at The Pier Six Pavilion years ago with Buddy Guy and The Robert Cray Band when he first came out with "Lie to Me" he was awesome and so young. I wish him the best and totally support him.
My favorite song of his: Matchbook (from his “Lie To Me” album)
Best live concert I saw, but Jonny, really pushes his vocals and has since very young, hope in time he can heal and again perform.
I've seen him twice and had tickets to meet him in Dec. 2019. He has been my favorite artist since i was 15, 24 years. I hope he recovers but I think if he come back and couldn't sing, he should put out an instrumental cd. Most of his fans love the voice and guitar and I think would be happy to even hear him play.

I have been heartbroken knowing Jonny has been suffering with his beautiful soulful voice. I’ miss seeing him all through these years of COVID and negative energy in our country.
Jonny coming back in any way he chooses I will support. I feel like his surrogate mom.
Could go on Kenny Wayne Shepherd style.
I remember seeing him at the release event for his first CD at the Hard Rock Cafe in Houston, TX. I've always been a fan, and I had wondered why i hadn't heard anything in quite some time about him. I wish him nothing but the best no matter which path he chooses
First of all hope for a full recovery. Prayers are with him. He will know when it’s time to play aging.
He needs to get well and we need to support him
Jonny I constantly look for new music...but until then I'll still listen to all your music which never gets old. Praying for a full recovery you can't be replaced ❤

I can’t see Jonny Lang hanging up music. So he will continue on his journey and do what is best for him.
I'd like to see Jonny Lang do whatever Jonny Lang wants to do. I'll wait, then I'll be there. Thanks Jonny
Anything he chooses to do, he will have the support of his fans.
Hope it works out to come back singing and playing. Playing at least.
I have just been watching a DVD of Mick Fleetwood and Friends which celebrated the music of Peter Green. It featured an all star cast including Jonny Lang who played back up guitar throughout and actually sang two numbers--Homework and Need Your Love So Bad. It was recorded on 25 February 2020.
He is a guitar player so he could always tour and play and have someone else do the singing.
why not put together a band with him as lead guitar and be the front man and find a singer??
Get well soon, Johnny.
I think he should just find a good singer and head back out.
Who would dare want for themselves over someone’s well being and health? To be that selfish to need so satisfied? I hope the best for Johnny Lang as he indeed is a prodigy. May the forces that made him come together again and again surprise us all. It seems to be “His” thing. Let it be, and it will be.
Whatever he wants to do is fine with me!
I always thought he pushed his voice to much, it's caught up with him.
No AI. That's not Jonny. Jonny is a fantastic guitarist.
Love Jonny Lang ; come to 🇨🇦
Jonny take care of u❤.. we have ur countless music😎
No need for singing his guitar does it for him. Take Jeff Beck. He can have guest singers if he must, but really ppl just want to see and hear him play.
Maybe he,s bored with all of it. Putting new music out isn't happening much these days. Hope his health is ok.
You really should dive into Marcus King.
At this point there are very few musical acts that can even make a decent living. The days of inspired R&B music may be over....
No RnB is not gone.
4 years of treatment and therapy would seem sufficient for recovery.Hope he got 2nd ,3rd opinions from specialists and hoping he can return singing as usual.Sometimes pro athletes suffer career ending injury's when their body doesn't respond. Not a fan of the AI thing especially at his age.
No AI, first and foremost. He did an acoustic tour in 2005 or so. Maybe a possibility...God's plan. I miss seeing him live (I've lost count).
Jonny Lang has (had) a voice that could lead a blues band even if he couldn't play a lick. He has a guitar voice that can star in a band if he doesn't sing a lick. He could find himself a singer and be the guitarist. Robin Trower model.
We miss you❤ but you must take of yourself. Life is short spend time with your family .If you join another band ill be right there to support you. I have been listening to you since the beginning your true fans aren't going anywhere. God Bless you and your family and Take care of yourself
I would look forward to to 2 possibilities: 1) An Instrumental album, 2) Make an album where he collaborates with a top drawer vocalist.
Praying for johnny lang
So many frivolous comments.
Why not just hire a singer, ala - Kenny Wayne Shepard, play guitar and get after it until then!
I am missing jonny, and i surely wont by some ai crap.
Just find the right vocalist and play his soul out. 🎸
AI sounds like a cool option or he could take his new music and find someone else to sing it the way he would want.
I think the (mouse ) abused him. Just an Opinion. I remember him back than
No AI ! The other 2 options 👍
I saw him as an opening act when he was 16 and he came on and just SCREAMED the entire show - great guitar player but he ruined his voice with the way he sang....
The way he sings, voice problems were inevitable. Love his voice, but you can hear it become more problematic over the years. He’s a great musician and performer. Good luck Jonny. (Don’t fucking experiment with AI.)
All shows... have been rescheduled for 2020. Oooops.
I’ve heard that Laing is going to make contemporary Christian music but has now found out that he can’t make a living doing that. So I don’t know what to think. I just wish she would hire a good singer and play guitar.
I vote he either joins a killer band as a guitar player.. Or does an instrumental record and waits and see about his voice.. He's way too talented to quit now. I don't dig the AI idea.

No to AI .
He could find a singer for his band like Kenny Wayne Sheperd has had and just concentrate on guitar. Doesn't have the chops of Kenny Wayne I guess but who does?
Yes he does. He can take on anyone with his guitar kicks.
Reno Nv. U.S.A.!!! Get well BRO!!!
This is not entirely accurate. I was his opening act in 2013 (or 12, forgot) on his tour dubbed "fight for my soul". He was a super generous host and killed it every night
So .. what is accurate? I'm curious, and worried.
Give AI a try.
NO AI . . . AI is not artistry. The blues should only come from the real voice. My hope is that he regains his voice and continues to deliver soul driven blues, but "synthesis" is not the blues.
Hire a singer. If it's AI, then I'm not interested.
😞
So, all this almost 5 minute clip to basically say the same what Jonny's facebook page. We don't know. Waste of your and your viewers time. Thanks BRR.
no one cares what he does ..washed up nothing
