Singer trains underwater like Frank Sinatra once did and scientists say it may be useful in maintaining vocal prowess
Frank Sinatra did it his way, taking to the pool to boost his vocal prowess, and it seems Rod Stewart is singing from the same songsheet. Now scientists say the approach might not be somethin’ stupid.
Stewart, 80, is still entertaining fans with his raspy vocals and energetic stage performances and earlier this month he revealed that as well as running and playing some football, swimming also played a key part in his campaign to stay forever young.
He is due to play the legends slot at Glastonbury next Sunday and has more than 40 other shows lined up in Europe and America this year, and he incorporated swimming into his fitness regime to help keep his vocals fine-tuned.
“We do a lot of underwater training, where the trainer throws a brick into the pool and I have to dive in, push the brick to the end of the pool and come up,” Stewart told the AARP magazine.
