Being a singer in a Rock band, and on tour for a month it is imperative to keep your mental and physical state in tact. Every day I would wake up and scan my body for any kind of discomfort or pain. It was a difficult process so I did my best to spend as much time alone as I could… especially after coming off that month long flu that I had. I still am coughing up stuff as we speak. It’s a wonder I can sing. And believe me… my voice is still only about 90%.
Five guys in a tour van takes balance. Everybody eats differently, different sleep patterns, it can be challenging especially if you’ve got one or two guys who are sick. Again, I kept my distance. I felt bad in a way because you want to maintain that camaraderie but you have to keep the space.
I’m also the only guy in the band who is a vegetarian so I eat a LOT different than they do. Sometimes I just have to go hungry because the venue’s are notorious for giving us pizza.
