0:00On April 24th, Foo Fighters dropping their new album this Friday, and frontman Dave Grohl spilled the beans on keeping his voice tour ready during, promo jets. Turns out it's not the usual singer tricks like hot tea or vocal warm-ups. Nah, Grohl's been belting it out hard for 30 years with zero-preparations. About 8 years back, he got his vocal cords scoped by a doctor for the first time. The doc slides in the camera, checks them out and goes, wow, these look perfect. No damage from all that screaming and shredding. Doc asks if he does warm-ups before shows are cool-downs after. Grohl says no to both. Then the guy hits him with, so what do you do pre-gig? Grohl lays it out straight. An hour before hitting the stage, he cracks a beer, pops an Advil for his creaky knees and ankles. Getting old, you know, then downs a shot of whiskey. Finishes the beer, grabs another, does a band prayer shot together. 15 minutes to go, one more beer and shot, then boom, on stage.

1:01Doc just shakes his head and says, don't change a thing, it's working like a charm. Proof rock and roll runs on its own fuel, keeping Grohl primed for this fresh record drop. From the spotlight, powered by AI, this is entertainment and celebrity news today.
