Only a few selected ones know it, so they can only book dates when their "top secret" team is available. Oh and they are sworn to secrecy and face a lifetime of listening to Jon's raw, unadulterated voice serenading them under their balcony every Friday at midnight in case they fail to comply

The band doesn't use a pitch-correcting device of any kind while performing live (save for Jon's pre-recorded "livin' on a praaayyyeeer..."). It's clear that the performances aren't auto-tuned, as every now and then Jon hits a bum note (sometimes a more subtle and sometimes a more audible one) and it wouldn't be heard at all if he used autotune. His voice has just improved - from an unbearable level to an average one.
