Back in 2006, The Times ran a story about the oddest things rock stars demand when on tour. Ozzy Osbourne (of Black Sabbath) insists to have an eye, ear, nose and throat doctor present at each venue.
The Beach Boys, especially during the 70’s, require a licensed masseur ready to massage the band members after the concert. Singer Meat Loaf demands to have a mask and one small tank of oxygen ready before his.
David Bowie requests that the dressing room temperature is between 14c and 18c and Paul McCartney must have a large arrangement of white Casablanca lilies in his dressing room.
Another odd request is from The Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger who says he must have an onstage autocue with the lyrics to all the songs, it would also tell him the name of the city in which they were performing.
