Beyonce's strict rules for her crew during upcoming world tour revealed

SINCE she announced her tour earlier this year, Beyonce has given very little away about her upcoming shows.

But I can now reveal that the Break My Soul singer has been busy behind closed doors getting her team in Formation.

And to make sure her band, dancers and crew are on top of their game for the duration of next year’s Renaissance tour, Queen Bey wants a strict no booze or drugs policy.

She is also conducting strict #MeToo checks with every member of staff to create a safe working environment.

A well-placed mole tells me: “Bey knows the new performances will require intense choreography and precision, so everyone has to be clean and sober.

“There won’t be any crazy partying on the road either.

I can also reveal that the superstar is considering girlband Flo, who won the 2023 Brits Rising Star Award this week, as a potential opening act for her dates in the UK.

Bey has also been impressed by marvellous Nigerian singer Tems, who was presented with the BMI Impact award last year, and British singer and rapper Bree Runway.

In lieu of the Spice Girls right now, I’m glad Queen Bey is delivering girl power.

LIZZO ROCKS GRINCH AND SANTA STYLE

LIZZO gets into the festive spirit dressed up as a Grinch-inspired Mother Christmas.

The About Damn Time singer wore a bright green wig and matching tights as she belted out hit after hit in New York’s Madison Square Garden.

She was performing on Friday night at the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball, which also included sets from Demi Lovato and Light Switch hitmaker Charlie Pugh.

I AD THERAPY FOR U.S. GIGS

ADELE has told how she had therapy FIVE times a day at the height of her divorce – and has returned to the couch to help her cope with her hefty Las Vegas work schedule.

The superstar, who split from hubby Simon Konecki in 2019, opened up about her battles during her Weekends with Adele show on Friday night at The Colosseum, Caesars Palace.

She told fans: “I started having therapy again because I went a few years without. I needed to start.

“Before, obviously, when I was going through my divorce, I was basically having five therapy sessions a day.

“But I stopped holding myself accountable for my own behaviour and the things I would say.

“But now I am doing it because I just want to make sure I’m topping myself up every week to make sure I can give you everything.

“And my whole therapy session this week was really interesting. It was about these shows.”

Tearing up, she added: “I always get so emotional. I love making music, but there is something about performing live that actually terrifies me and fills me with dread.

“That is why I am not a big touring artist. I did it last time to prove I could do it.

“But this experience of being in a room this size, I think I might be a live artist for the rest of my life.”

Adele, who cancelled her Vegas residency with a few days’ notice in January, added: “I have always put a massive pressure on myself that everything has to be perfect, perfect.

“Obviously this show did have to be f***ing perfect hence me delaying it again.

“I’m sorry. I am just a human and that is what having to cancel those shows needed. I am the happiest I’ve ever been.”

CONNOR HIT BY DANCING ON ICE DOOM

FORGET the Strictly curse – celebs should be more concerned with the relationship doom of Dancing On Ice.

Months after Rachel Stevens split from husband Alex Bourne, I can reveal that The Vamps bassist Connor Ball has parted ways with his long-term girlfriend Lucy Moore.

The musician, who took part in the competition this year alongside Former S Club 7 singer Rachel, only recently took a break in Spain with television producer Lucy.

A source close to The Vamps revealed: “Connor and Lucy have split amicably and still have a lot of respect for each other.

“They just decided that they were better off as mates. Nobody else was involved.

“Connor has thrown himself into work and is looking forward to touring with the band next year.”

The band have been busy promoting their Christmas single Seat At The Table.

I’m sure Connor will have plenty of takers when he decides he is ready to start dating again.

Kula Shaker @ Shepherd's Bush Empire, London

Britpop legends Kula Shaker have hit the road for the first time in six years to tour their new album 1st Congregational Church Of Eternal Love And Free Hugs.

Playing to a packed house on Thursday, they kicked off with hit Hey Dude from their 1996 debut album K. This was followed by a mixture of psychedelic rock classics, including their cover of Deep Purple’s Hush.

Frontman Crispian Mills gave a killer performance, darting about enthusiastically around the stage.

A nice surprise was the debut of anti-war song Gaslighting, which they wrote during the tour.

The band paid tribute to John Lennon with All I Want Is The Truth – to mark 42 years to the day since his murder.

They later gave a nod to the rest of The Beatles, ending the set with Twist And Shout.

An electric night that transported fans back to the band’s heyday with a little sprinkle of classic rock, too.

ADAM WAS SIGHT FOR SORE EYES

ADAM LAMBERT has revealed the real reason he looked so emotional at the Platinum Jubilee party in the summer alongside Queen.

The group were the first on stage at the star-studded concert, and the monarch even featured in a short film with Paddington Bear, tapping her teaspoon in time to the band’s hit We Will Rock You.

But Adam, who appeared choked up, told how his watering eyes were actually caused by... hay fever.

He said: “That was definitely a surreal experience – it was wild.

“It was such an honour to honour the Queen, with Queen.

“So much planning and energy went into that performance. We had to get it right.

“The only problem was I was suffering from hay fever. This is Hyde Park in the middle of the summer.

“I was sneezing, my eyes were watering.People were like: ‘He’s so emotional.’ But actually it was allergies.”

Adam has performed with Roger Taylor and Brian May for a decade, cementing a partnership that he says has been “a saving grace” for him.

The former American Idol star, whose latest album High Drama is available to pre-order this week, said: “Coming off a talent show, there’s an eye roll collectively.

“But Queen came along at the right time, and it was a blessing.

“It felt like I’m supposed to be doing this.”

MEL'S STAR LOVE HUNT

ALL SAINTS stunner Mel Blatt is the latest celeb to turn to A-list dating app Raya to find love.

The singer, who split from hubby Jamiroquai bassist Stuart Zender in 2006, has posted a series of snaps on her profile, including a selfie with a possum.

She’s in great company – other stars to sign up to the singles site include James Arthur, Katya Jones and Shawn Mendes.

The mum-of-one has previously told how she overcame her feelings of isolation once her marriage ended.

She said in 2019: “I spent maybe eight years of my life living a lie, being in a relationship and losing all my friends and not being myself for a long time.

“Ever since, I said: ‘I’m never going to be anyone but myself’. Now I’m happy with who I am.”

Good on you, Mel.

DUA’S TAME HAS FINALLY COME

DUA LIPA has been busy Stateside this month – and I can reveal that the singer spent all week at Tame Impala’s LA studio working on a new track for her upcoming album.

Dua, snapped here in an elegant black gown at New York’s Jingle Ball on Friday, was also spotted at Tame Impala’s recent show in Perth.

The town is home to Kevin Parker, the Australian multi-instrumentalist who records under the Tame Impala name.

Four years ago when asked who her dream collab would be, Dua said: “I would love to make an album with Kevin Parker.”
