Band's big on booze

The Smoking Gun website, which has leaked the demands made by many artists of concert organisers, offers insight into U2's love of booze.
The band's demands include that only "bottled beer", such as a case of Rolling Rock, four cases of Heineken, and half a case of Guinness stout, be provided.
Also high on the list is Cuervo Tequila, Stolli or Absolut vodka, a bottle of Jack Daniels Black Label, Moët White Star champagne, three "very good" French chardonnays and three "very good" French bordeaux wines, Mouton Cadet red wine, Jacobs Creek or Black Opal Australian white wine and a medium-quality port or sherry.

In comparison, German band Rammstein, who played at the Grand Arena in Cape Town last night, made more subdued demands, which looks less than rock royalty.
Their demands include skimmed milk, 30litres of non-carbonated water, 4litres of sparkling water, 10litres of 100% fruit juice in different flavours, and litres of energy drink Gatorade and Coca-Cola Light.
Sophie Doherty, of Big Concerts International, said she was "contractually" prevented from revealing the stars' requirements.
Dionne Domyan, of Penny Stein Promotions, said she had not seen the demands.
Rammstein perform in Johannesburg tomorrow at The Dome.
U2 will play to a 110000-strong crowd at FNB stadium on Sunday, before heading to the Cape Town stadium on February 18.
