Leona Lewis'ss's'ss insistence that only vegetarian food be served on her tour is reportedly causing an upset with staff.
The 25-year-old singer is currently taking part in her first UK tour, The Labyrinth (she's that complex), and only wants her entourage and staff to eat the same vegetarian food that she has. However some people aren't impressed with the choices open to them.
A source on the tour told The Sun: "There are going to be murders. Leona has demanded that only veggie food be made available for everyone - and members of the crew are threatening to quit. She will not even allow food to be bought off-site then brought in. She is getting a reputation as a bit of a pain in the a*se. She is such a diva. It's getting out of control."
Leona, perhaps stall it a few years before pulling a Sir Paul or a Morrissey. As it happens, certain veggie food doesn't, eh, agree with certain bellies, so you could find half your crew is MIA for the duration of your tour - and that's never good for a girl (of limited personality) starting out. "Oh, my mic's not working. Um, can someone please help me with my mic? And, could someone please put some stage lights on? Maybe? No? OK, I'll just offer the audience some spinach dal until everybody's back up and running."
Should you require another example; I recall seeing Morrissey in Marlay Park a few years back and being expectantly jarred by the distinct lack of burgers on offer. However, it was a small sacrifice, it was Morrissey, it comes with the territory. So, I happily settled for a few veggie sausages. Unfortunately, they didn't settle too well in me... Imagine the irony of having to politely skip the portaloo queue while the opening peals of Meat is Murder started blaring in the background.
Indeed, these are the dodgy tales that are retrieved from the recesses on a slow news day. Next up, quite possibly a rant I've been brewing since November regarding the DART at "rush hour."
