He shared his experience of hearing unsettling noises from his jaw while singing, admitting he worried it might dislocate or get stuck. "You hear all these noises while you're singing, and you hear noises where you think: 'I should probably really stop what I'm doing, because this noise sounds like my jaw is going to fall off or slide to the side or get stuck in this position,'" he reportedly joked, according to Billboard magazine.

The revelation came during a performance where Rose, despite his discomfort, continued to engage with the large crowd. The article highlights his resilience in performing while managing a significant health issue.
