And then I&#8217;m singing all the way through. I choked on one once, during &#8216;Love Changes Everything&#8217; and it was getting to the big bit and it was all happening and lubricated. And I did a big breath in and it got stuck! I thought &#8216;What do I do?, My musical director doesn&#8217;t know the Heimlich!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I just thought &#8216;Let&#8217;s use the force of air&#8217; and it came flying out into about the sixth row and it was perfectly fine. So that&#8217;s what I do, every time you hear me singing, know that I&#8217;ve got one of them.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the musical theatre star has carved out a secondary career as an author in recent years and revealed that he has already sold the rights to his new book &#8216;A Backstage Betrayal&#8217; for a screen adaptation but has no interest in playing a leading part himself.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;The rights have been bought and the conversations are happening, literally as we speak. I can&#8217;t wait. I wouldn&#8217;t want to [be in it], I think that would be a little bit of an overkill.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;The odd cameo, here and there, lurking in the background sweeping the stage, which is probably what I should&#8217;ve been doing in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I would love to do it, and I am going to be involved in the whole process of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/west-end-legend-michael-ball-reveals-risky-singing-hack-uses-every-performance-1408994.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>13 November 2024 Michael Ball always sings with a throat lozenge in his mouth.
