Jon Bon Jovi teased rumours he's 'been with 100 women'.

The rocker has opened up about his 35-year marriage to Dorothea Hurley, previously admitting he wasn't always a saint in his heyday. The 62-year-old spoke about his relationships in the ABC special, Michael Strahan x Jon Bon Jovi: Halfway There.

"It had to be tough on a relationship," Michael asked Jon, reflecting on his "sex symbol" image back in the day. Replying, and perhaps giving away too much information, the Livin' On A Prayer hitmaker told the TV personality, "I got away with murder."

"I'm a rock and roll star. I'm not a saint. I'm not saying that there weren't 100 girls in my life. I'm Jon Bon Jovi. It was pretty good," he explained. "But if you think I'm ever going to jeopardize my anything for believing the narcissist in me was real?

"What a stupid thing to do. What kind of excesses does a man need that's going to fuel that fire? It's just not worth it," Jon continued. The comments come after a similar interview with the Independent where the singer said, "It's about never lying about having been a saint, but not being a fool enough to [mess] up the home life, either."

Last month, Bon Jovi said he turned to "voodoo" and all sorts of experimental medicines and methods to fix his voice in a bid to avoid surgery. He was in recovery after going under the knife, having taken the drastic step of vocal cord surgery almost two years ago.

But in good news for fans, he shared how the band is back rehearsing to test his voice with a view to going back on the road. "The guy that I found in Philadelphia, the greatest thing he said after I exhausted everything, every bit of what I call 'voodoo.'

"Every Eastern medicine, every laser, every diet, singing lessons - everything that I could. And I did 15 shows and it just was not working. And I went to see him and I said, 'I can give you 100 per cent of 80 per cent'. He said, 'Is that good enough?'

"I said, 'No.' He said, 'Now we can talk about this surgery.' And he said, 'And I guarantee you nothing, but if you work hard this will give you your best shot'. So I've been diligent in my recovery and hoping that everything’s going to be alright - but I don’t know. I'm being bluntly honest, if I'm not great, I'm not going [on tour]. Watch YouTube, I'm not interested."
