TORONTO — Singer Rod Stewart says an addiction to steroids in the ’80s caused his penis to shrink.
The British rocker told Mojo magazine he used what he calls “the most horrible drugs in the world” to keep his voice in shape.
“The steroids will take down the swelling in any membrane — including your k—-b,” said Stewart, “and it’s what you do when you’re in a bit of a pinch and need to do a show and you can’t sing.”
