The talent booking agency TCI has released some curious details about English pop star Robbie Williams’ tour of Russia and Belarus later this year.

It turns out that Williams, wherever he performs, requires 280 towels, 6 fire extinguishers, 4 different British newspapers, 24 donuts, 16 liters (4 gallons) of milk, a kilo (2 pounds) of mushrooms, and, to top it all off, 48 eggs.

Williams’ contract also stipulates access to a large refrigerator with 50 kilos (110 pounds) of ice—half delivered to him at night and the other half delivered at noon.

The musician also needs 3 private dressing rooms, 5 offices, and 6 rooms for his staff. Wherever he goes, he must be accompanied by 8 managers, his own personal stylist and masseuse, 6 cooks, and 6 bodyguards.

Robbie Williams’ Let Me Entertain You tour comes to St. Petersburg on April 9 and Moscow on April 12.

In each dressing room, there must be two lighted mirrors—one a desktop mirror and the other full-length. One of the backup singers is the artist’s father, Peter Williams, who requires a separate dressing room. [...] In his contract, Robbie requests 30 sofas. A total of 120 people will accompany Williams on the tour.
