One Direction's Tour Rider Leaked, Band Before Zayn Malik Left Asked For 'Spotlessly Clean' Hotel Rooms With 'Deodorized Carpets'
Before Zayn Malik announced that he is quitting One Direction, the band's tour rider was leaked, detailing how much of a diva the group is during their tours was leaked. On the 32-page document, the boys’ extensive wants and needs at the various stadium venues they performed at during the “On the Road tour” were detailed.
Daily Star UK reports that the One Direction could be quite the diva during their world tour. A document unearthed by The Smoking Gun that showed their requests on each venue they stopped on was leaked. The document showed that the band and the crew asked for 16 rooms at each venue, four devoted to the use of the band members, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, and Niall Horan. In addition, the documents showed that the four always want their room “spotlessly clean.” They want the carpets deodorized as well. They also required a constant supply of soft toilet tissue and dimmable lighting. They also want soft draped walls so that the ambiance would be “pleasant.”
The documents also showed that the boys requested a room that would contain all their toys and hobbies. It contains a tennis table, a pinball machine, as well as a pingpong table. The same room is also used as their personal training room.
The documents revealed that the boys required homemade food served on china. In addition, caterers are called to "use garnish and find creative ways to help prevent food from drying out while it is being served.” Each of the dishes should have “two inch by three inches approx. typed with easy to read bold font”. The well-loved band also asked for three cases of local beer as well as local foods, particularly such as KFC. If they need to travel for at least 15 minutes, it is stipulated in the rider that they should be given a cooler with water and soft drinks too.
While this leaked document of the boys’ habits and requests is a shock, One Directioners were more shocked when the band announced Zayn’s official exit from the band. Some blamed Zayn Malik's fiancee for the band's current situation. Some fans were so allegedly hurt by the news that there had been reports of companies whose employees did not show up for work because of they could not take the news.
