Drink lots of water beforehand
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

Half lemon juice half water. Sour, but it works. Also, I sometimes can't hit the last Grey Street note without doing falsettos. What does help is scream it, get really raunchy, it helps. It doesn't sound as good, but it works, it helps break that barrier. Drink a lot of water afterwards, to help your vocal chords. I do the same after singing Halloween, since I do it metal style, lol.

Drinking some cranberry apple juice before hand usually helps me before i plau and sing, water, sometimes tea. For practice, sing higher than your range and see what notes you can hit, if you cant quite get to those upper ones, yelling helps but you might have to drop it down an octave. Probably the best advice is not to try and sing just like he does, put your own feel to it, just have fun :D
