She also requests "12 purple long stemmed de-thorned roses or any purple flowers".

Four of the 11 pages list food and drink demands, that state condiments must include Miracle Whip - an American salad dressing.

Joss, who will be appearing with The Who, The Coral, Keane and The Zutons, will be singing the Liverpool football classic You’ll Never Walk Alone.

But thankfully for the festival organisers, not all her demands are so restrictive. One more liberal section of the rider states: "Feel free to serve regional specialities and be creative."

Perhaps Jess would appreciate the traditional dish Scouse, which is a pot of meat and potatoes. As long as it is served in a real china pot.


Joss labels ex ’disgusting’ - June 14 2007
Joss Stone has apparently had enough of men - and has joked about becoming a lesbian.

"I think I’ll have to turn lesbian," the Daily Mirror quoted her as saying. "Every girl my age wants to be in a relationship. I haven’t had one in two years and look how that ended."

The soul singer also hit out against her ex, Beau Dozier, for exposing secrets of their failed relationship to the world’s press, labelling him "disgusting".

The 20-year-old split from the songwriter/producer - son of Motown songwriter Lamont Dozier - in November 2005 after an 18-month relationship.

She said: "Oh my God, disgusting! Maybe one day I’ll understand why he decided to do that but, right now? It’s beyond my comprehension."

The Devon-born star recently said that her one true love is music.

"I’m driving along in my car and I’m thinking, ’Why am I going through life looking for unconditional love, when it’s music that’s unconditional?’" she said. "It’s always there for me."


Being British drives Joss to drink? - April 12 2007
The move to America and new US twang seemed to be signs that Joss Stone wasn’t too keen on her home country - and now she has blamed her drinking on being a Brit.

The 19-year-old has said that she’s been boozing since her early teens, according to the Sun.

"I’ve been drinking beer since I was 13. I’m English! Sometimes I smoke, sometimes I drink. But I don’t go on binges," she said. "I’m not a genuine bad girl. I don’t want to ruin my voice.

"But when I’m home in England, I have a beer and a smoke. Sometimes I even smoke weed."

The Devon schoolgirl-turned-diva has been criticised at home for her unusual accent and for turning up late to a recent gig.

But the singer is a smash hit in the States and her third album, Introducing Joss Stone, entered the US Billboard chart at No 2.

The news that Joss has been drinking since she was 13 may not such a surprise considering the early start of her career.

She appeared on Star For A Night on BBC TV singing You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman at the age of 14 and got a record deal a year later.

Her debut album, The Soul Sessions, was released when she was just 16.

Joss finds love? - April 4 2007
Joss Stone has apparently found true love - with a man who is more than twice her age.

The songstress has fallen for music producer Raphael Saadiq - who at 40 is 21 years her senior.

According to the Daily Mirror, even though her spokespeople have denied she is in a relationship, Joss’s pal Lemar let the cat out of the bag at the launch of Smooth FM yesterday.
