Does Removal Tonsils Effect My Voice?

I am 38 years old and sing in a rock band and have a naturally raspy growly "rock" voice.
I have recently been told I should get my tonsils removed for numerous health reasons. Will this or can this affect the raspyness of my voice? Is the growl in my voice produced by my tonsils being there?
