He continued and vowed that he is "following orders and doing my physio, so happy to say I will be back soon!"

Jones' surgery comes months after speculation spread that he collapsed before a performance in July.
He shut down reports, assuring fans that he was instead getting over a bout with laryngitis.
In a statement shared on Twitter at the time, he said he traveled from the United Kingdom to Budapest the night before, and awoke to an "uncomfortable throat."

"I did NOT 'collapse' anywhere at any time, that is pure rumor," he wrote. "Hopefully the inflammation will calm soon as I am looking forward to continuing my wonderful summer tour."
