With tickets for his UK tour going on sale this Friday, Rod revealed the precautions he took to protect his vocal cords. Speaking of his upcoming tour, Jermaine asked the British rock icon: “I hear you’ve got a very unique way of protecting your voice because I can imagine it gets very busy.” Rod responded: “I warm up for an hour and I warm down for 15 minutes. He revealed: “Sometimes if I have four concerts in a week, I get a bit hoarse so I put a sign around my neck saying I can’t talk.”
