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.
