Pop star Justin Timberlake motivates himself to go onstage and perform in concert by listening to the British band Coldplay.

The My Love singer is getting ready to tour again to promote his latest album and says he has specific pre-show rituals he likes to follow.

He explains, “I still get excited to go on stage. I stretch so I don’t hurt myself.

“I had a rule on my last tour that I couldn’t go until I heard the song Clocks by Coldplay.

“You know the house music they play before the artist goes on stage?

“It turned into a superstition because after I heard that song I felt like it would be a good show, so we could go on!”
