Jon Bon Jovi opened up in a US TV interview about using steroids to help preserve his voice.

The 47-year-old rocker appeared alongside bandmates, including Richie Sambora on Inside The Actors Studio when he made the stunning confession.

After heavy touring in 1987, Bon Jovi admitted: "We were burned. I was dead tired - exhausted. And on top of that exhaustion I was having to sing [so] steroid shots had become like candy to me. They were just like, 'bring it on, bring it on', until there was no voice left and I was still getting jacked up."

The singer, who now lives a healthy life, told the show's host James Lipton that he is ashamed of his past habit.

"I don't look back at that very fondly," he confessed.

Bon Jovi released their 11th studio album The Circle last week with a world tour planned in 2010.
