Avenged Sevenfold Shadows Damaged His Voice

01/06/2011
. Avenged Sevenfold singer M Shadows says that being driven on by fans' passion during live shows has hurt his vocal cords � and sometimes he has to force himself to stay calm in order to avoid doing more damage.

Speaking to NME in a video recorded during the band's recent UK tour with Stone Sour and Hellyeah, the frontman discussed the aftermath of having had a throat infection and vomiting ahead of a concert in Brighton.

"I'm really concerned about my voice. I need to make sure I go out there and don't hurt myself and have to cancel more dates," Shadows says. "On a normal night I listen for how loud the crowd goes when the lights go out. It's always cool � it's about to go deep-sh*t. But it's about staying calm in my own mind and not worrying about how much the kids are giving me."
