Elton John books special hotel room for specs

Singer Elton John has asked for an extra hotel room for his glasses ahead of a concert in Brazil.
The 'Rocket Man' hitmaker booked the added accommodation at the five star Ouro Minas for his legendary glasses, reported Sun online.
"Elton John asked for an extra room in the hotel for some of his collection of glasses because he needs a temperature of 16C to preserve the accessories," a spokesperson for the show said.
The 65-year-old star also requested large vases of red and white roses, four bottles of cranberry juice, a pint of fresh skimmed milk and two bottles of good quality Pinot Grigio wine, plus eight small bottles of Evian water, and five large bottles of San Pellegrino sparkling water.

The lifelong football fan, and former owner of Watford FC, finished his rider by asking for access to cable TV, specifically sports channels, as well as an international phone line.
"What stands out is the request for a phone line with international access and, surprisingly, a television with access to local channels and cable.
"In the latter, there is yet another requirement: that among the channels, he specifically has the sports channels," the spokesperson added.
John will perform to a sell-out crowd of 60,000 at the Mineirao stadium on Saturday.
