Lady Gaga Ditches Booze Backstage in Favour of a Steaming Cuppa Tea

Lady Gaga must be on a health kick because the normally boozy star will not touch a drop of alcohol this weekend when she jets into Dublin for her latest Irish concert

The ‘Edge of Glory’ singer is known for her love of a few tipples after a performance but has ordered staff at the Aviva to avoid putting alcohol in her dressing room but instead requested a stock of herbal tea.

On her last visit, the musician requested a bottle of Jameson whiskey before partying with her entourage in a Dublin nightclub.

According to The Sun, Gaga has also ordered that the venue’s bars refrain from putting ice cubes into the glasses of her fans 30 minutes before she is to hit the stage because she fears they will be thrown at her.

An Aviva insider said: “Among Gaga’s demands are a selection of dishes including roast chicken and vegetable hotdogs and she would like tea to be served in China cups.

“She’s also requested honey for her throat in order to have her voice in top order for Irish fans.

“Gaga has also requested an oxygen tank, a large supply of honey and different menus for each day of her stay here.”

The source continued: “Important: the distribution of ice at all bars within the building must cease no later than 30 minutes prior to Lady Gaga’s performance.”

Lady Gaga will jet into Dublin this weekend on a private jet from the UK and will be accompanied by 12 bodyguards who will camp outside the singer’s plush room in the Four Seasons Hotel.

“She takes no chances when it comes to security and likes to feel protected at all times," said the insider.

Meanwhile, some of Gaga’s fans have been pitching tents outside the Aviva to get pit tickets for the concert.

Some little monsters have been queuing since last week after Gaga announced that she would give a ‘monster pit key’ to the first fan to arrive at each show. The fan and three friends will then get to meet Gaga.

Fans Albert Rose and Gemma Behan have been waiting outside the stadium since last Thursday and yesterday tweeted a photograph of a sign saying “monster pit full.”
