McCartney quit drinks before shows: 'it made me forget my lyrics'

By editorial board on July 4, 2017

Paul McCartney says he stopped drinking booze before the show because he started to forget his song words on stage.

According with the Daily Mirror, before the concert The star’s backstage rider now consists of a bag of chocolate raisins and some cashew nuts. The former Beatle says he waits until after gigs to drink a glass of wine. He also gave up cannabis because he wanted to set a good example to his grandchildren, the former Beatles singer has claimed.

 

 Celebrities have special lists of items to accompany them while out of the spotlight, but some simply go overboard. Read at botoom page some backstage requests.

Sir Paul used to enjoy wine and beer during his days with The Beatles and on the road with Wings in the Sixties and Seventies. "I used to try that, particularly in the early days of Wings when we would tour. But it didn’t work – I would just forget the lyrics I didn’t know anyway.”

“I don’t eat or drink before I go on because I sort of like to feel light," he shared. "Then afterwards I can get heavy and have a drink. Before I go on I don’t do that.

“But I do have little sort of snacky things in the dressing room that I might just grab, like chocolate covered raisins and equal amount of salted cashews.”

In his rider he demands 19 leafy six-foot plants, four leafy four-foot plants, vegetarian catering only and absolutely no animal by-products anywhere — including the furniture and carpets.

English singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse is generally seen as a wreck by the public. In case you can’t tell, we had a great time looking through pictures of Ms. Winehouse. She’s not particularly needy backstage, at least, not in the material sense. However, Winehouse apparently requires that her crew be sober — so she can get wasted.

Madonna is one of those music legends that you’ll always remember, whether or not you ever liked or even listened to her music to begin with. She’s gotten more eccentric over the years, so her strange backstage requests don’t surprise us. It’s just strange that she requires a brand new toilet seat at every concert she plays. Ever heard of covers? Guess they’re not good enough.

beforeBarbra Streisand has taken home two Academy Awards, eight Grammy Awards, four Emmy awards among a slew of others, she requires rose petals in her toilet.  Pop diva Mariah Carey really lives up to the title. She once required an attendant to get rid of her chewing gum, and she often desires the company of small furry animals backstage — bunny rabbits, puppies, and kittens are her favorite. She also likes Cristal champagne and bendy straws, although those items seem far more reasonable than a petting zoo.
