Beyoncé’s - ahem, different - backstage demands on her global tour have reportedly been leaked..

Beyoncé is the sort of girl who knows what she wants - and we applaud her for it. When it comes to her rider requests while on her Mrs Carter Show global tour, apparently things are no different.

Although her demands include the health-conscious to the somewhat hilarious…

Just like when Beyonce unwittingly asked Princess Eugenie to duet with her, according to The Daily Star, she's been clear on her backstage necessities. Which include? A new toilet seat and red toilet paper, too, or so say the paper.

But that’s not all - when it comes to having a drink ahead of her shows, the most famous pout in pop drinks through a £600 drinking straw and adds hand-carved ice balls for any liquid refreshment, they continue. Of course, water must alkaline water served at exactly 21 degrees.

The newspaper claims that the mother-of-one has a penchant for white walls in her dressing room, too - freshly painted, of course, while her crew are under strict instructions to wear 100 per cent pure cotton clothing at all times.

This move is to prevent the signer from suffering with any allergic reactions, and with a gruelling schedule that includes endless flying, it’s easy to understand her concern. Naturally, snacks on her rider are reported to include glass platters of almonds, oatcakes, and green-only salads.

During her six-night-stint at the O2 in London, Beyoncé reportedly shunned the new luxury dressing rooms in favour of the venue’s largest quarters usually reserved for sports teams. An insider told the Evening Standard: ‘They are much bigger," they shared. "She was given free rein to refurbish them to her own taste. They're also in a quieter part of the backstage area, which gives her a better atmosphere to get focused for her shows."

And focused is something the singer certainly is!
