Madonna has allegedly demanded eight full-length mirrors and a skipping rope
backstage for London's Live Earth concert.
The 48-year-old singer, who is headlining the spectacular show at the new
Wembley Stadium on Saturday (07.07.07), is said to have presented organisers
with a bizarre list of requirements.
A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "She has asked for 12 dozen
boxes of strawberries, eight full-length mirrors, a skipping rope, Yorkshire
Tea, organic green tea and vanilla room spray."
Madonna is reportedly not the only demanding star taking part in the musical
extravaganza - one of a series of concerts across the world organized by
former US Vice President Al Gore to highlight the dangers of global warming.
The insider added: "You have got people like Madonna, Red Hot Chili Peppers,
Snow Patrol and Keane all wanting to make sure they get noticed. Let's just
say the organisers have been left frazzled trying to make all the acts feel
like they are the main attraction."
Other acts confirmed to perform include the Beastie Boys, Metallica, Duran
Duran, Foo Fighters and David Gray. Genesis, fronted by Phil Collins, will
kick off proceedings
The 24-hour Live Earth concert series will begin in Sydney on Saturday and
continue with shows in Tokyo, Shanghai, Johannesburg, London, Hamburg and
Istanbul, before concluding in New York.
