The worst advice you’ll hear today.
Dave Grohl has revealed the decidedly unorthodox secret behind his bulletproof vocal cords: beer, Advil, whiskey, and more beer.
During a recent appearance on the Dish Podcast, the Foo Fighters frontman recalled a doctor’s visit eight years ago that left a specialist baffled.

After scoping Grohl’s throat, the physician marvelled at their pristine condition, asking about warm-ups or cooldowns. Grohl’s reply was pure rock and roll.
An hour before a show, he cracks a beer, pops an Advil for his aging joints, throws back a shot of whiskey, then repeats the process.
A group “band prayer” shot follows, then another beer and another shot before hitting the stage.
No vocal exercises. No tea with honey. Just booze and over-the-counter pain relief.
Astonishingly, the doctor’s advice was simple: don’t change a thing.
Fans can judge Grohl’s miraculous method for themselves this summer when Foo Fighters embark on a North American stadium tour with Queens of the Stone Age.
