WASHINGTON - Music legend Sir Paul McCartney has a pre-concert ritual of gargling with salt water.

But he admits it makes him vomit, reports Contactmusic.

When quizzed if he had any rituals before any gig, Paul said: “Well yes, kind of. I’ve got a couple of little things I do in the dressing room, but it’s really minimal, you know, it’s more superstitious than anything. I gargle with salt water.”

And when asked if it makes him sick, he added: “Yes, it does. It’s this kind of bulimia thing I’ve got going on. No, it’s supposed to be good for you,salt water. I don’t know why. I persuade myself its good for me.”

He added in a radio interview with ‘Absolute Radio Breakfast Show’ host Christian O’Connell: “I’ve only started doing this recently. It’s in the dressing room, there’s a little packet of salt and a kettle for me.” (ANI)

mccartney actually did not say it made him sick. he was obviously only joking. the heading is totally bogus. this is a common protocol, to gargle salt water, done by many vocalists. unfortunately, it’s also not uncommon for a reporter or blog poster to totally distort the meaning of something.
