Rod Stewart reveals pre-show ritual ahead of Glastonbury set
Rod Stewart has revealed he gargles rum and coke before every performance, a ritual he has maintained for 40 years to protect his vocal cords.
Stewart, 80, will perform in the Legends Slot on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival this June.
In May, Stewart was seen wearing a sign around his neck that said 'Sorry. Cannot talk. Having vocal rest'. He explained he uses this method to recover his voice when needed.
Stewart wants a minimal rider for his Glastonbury performance, requesting only wine and crisps.
Stewart, who had to cancel shows in January due to strep throat and Covid-19, is scheduled for a 90-minute set at Glastonbury on 29 June.
