The "I'd Do Anything for Love" hitmaker, who has undergone three vocal cord surgeries in the past, suddenly found himself in agony on stage, but was amazed that he got nothing but "hostility" from fans for his efforts, reported Female First.
"When you're 26, your voice has a certain timbre. When you're 68, your voice no longer has that timbre... Adele cancelled a tour with a hemorrhaging vocal cord...
"I did a tour in Australia with a hemorrhaging vocal cord. I was spitting blood every night on stage. And I've got nothing but grief and major hostility," he said.
"I gave those people everything I had and more. I was warming up, and it was like you're slicing a vegetable and you cut your finger really bad and it's bleeding everywhere, that's how blood was coming out of my throat..."
The singer's voice is back to normal now and he has been working on his upcoming "Original Album Classics", scheduled release this autumn.
