John Newman reveals pre gig rituals

John Newman insists on being supplied with white socks at every venue he performs at alongside his ”normal” rider requests including vegetables, juice and booze.

The English singer and musician’s tour rider includes everything from grooming to usual food, juice and alcohol requests.

When asked what’s on his rider, he said: ”I have clean white socks. I have a lot of them on my rider.

”I have hairspray, hair gel, and a leather shoe-polish brush. They’re the weirdest things I think.

”And then the normal things. I have loads of vegetables and juice and things to keep me feeling alright. And then plenty of booze for when the evening gets good.”

It seems that John always has a lot of socks to choose from every day.

The ‘Love Me Again’ star admitted: ”We keep them in my stage clothes bag – there’s got to be 50 pairs in there.”

And the smart star insists he never dresses down.

He told Heat: ”I’m actually always in suit trousers. All the time.”

However, John sometimes finds his hair difficult to manage.

He said: ”I’d give my hair five [out of 10] because the side drops down and that’s annoying.

”The preparation itself takes minutes. Get out of the shower, put some hair gel in, slick it back and spray it.”
