‘That transformation involves three Red Bulls, putting on a Hawaiian shirt, removing my shoes and being slapped really hard around the face by my tour manager, Al,’ he recently told The Sun.
The ritual first came about when he went sober 14 years ago, with the smack taking the place of any drinks.
He explained: ‘The slap replaces the cheeky vodka and orange or something else which used to get me on stage fighting.
‘It just means all my adrenaline is there and I am in a fighting mood to perk me up.’
