LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - Sir Mick Jagger demanded a giant fridge-freezer be installed in his hotel room in Wales - to store his personal stash of ice-cream.
The singer was in the country to perform with the rest of his bandmates in Cardiff on the latest leg of their 'A Bigger Bang' world tour.
After checking in at the plush Celtic Manor Hotel, in Gwent, Jagger reportedly requested that an American-style refrigerator was placed in his room complete with ice-cream.
The rocker apparently uses the frozen sweet treat to cool down his vocal cords after performing.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "The hotel has many celebrity guests and they always try to cater for their needs."
It was recently reported that Jagger has an oxygen tank backstage to help him keep his energy up during the Stones' gruelling live shows.
However, his spokesman has now denied the claims, saying: "It's simply not true that Mick uses oxygen. He maintains astonishing levels of fitness and the only help he needs during live performances is plenty of water to keep him hydrated."
