Dave Grohl reveals his boozy secret for keeping his vocal cords in check

Dave Grohl has revealed his booze-filled secret to keeping his vocal cords in healthy condition.

Foo Fighters are preparing to release their 12th studio album ‘My Favorite Toy’ tomorrow (April 24) via Roswell Records/Columbia Records, and they have previewed it with the singles ‘Asking For A Friend’, ‘Your Favorite Toy’, ‘Caught In The Echo’ and ‘Of All People’.

With some big dates confirmed for later in the year, Grohl has now spoken about the importance of looking after his voice and has told the Dish podcast about his doctor-approved method.

He told hosts Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett about a time “maybe eight years ago” that he had to “go get my vocal cords checked out”, something he said he had “never done”.

“And I was like, ‘Oh, Jesus. It’s going to look like string cheese’,” he joked. “And I thought, ‘Okay, this is it. They’re gonna tell me that I’ve thrashed my vocal cords, and I’ll never be able to sing again’.”
