According to the three-page document, Adele requires tea, honey and bottled water before a show. | |

The rider also informs US promoters that the 23-year-old's recent UK and European tour raised $13,000 (£8,328) from donations made by guests. | |
A spokeswoman from Sands confirmed that the organisation had received various donations from the singer. | |
"We are extremely grateful and we're very privileged to have been chosen as one of Adele's charities," she said. | |
Other requirements listed by Adele's tour manager include a dressing room with heating and air conditioning "to maintain an ambient temperature of 20C", a selection of fruit but "no citrus fruit" and six cereal bars in "individual wrappers". | |
The star also insists on having a pack of Marlboro Lights, a lighter, six metal teaspoons, and a range of chewing gum at every venue on her tour. | |
Last week, it was announced that the singer had been nominated for six Grammys, including song and record of the year, for Rolling in the Deep, and best album, for 21. | |
