THE singer is known for her diva demands and has now reportedly told fans they can’t give her a friendly squeeze. She has been wowing fans up and down the country with her Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour.
But it looks like fans of Mariah Carey who are hoping to get up close and personal with the megastar could be bitterly disappointed.
According to reports, the Hero singer has asked fans to refrain from any physical contact during pricey VIP meet and greets.
A source told The Sun: “There were strict instructions for fans. No kissing, touching, grabbing or hugging Mariah. She was allowed to touch fans but they were told by bodyguards they weren’t to touch her.” Mimi’s most recent diva demands included ordering her entourage to head to Asda in Glasgow at 3am to fetch Disney DVDs for her four-year-old twins Morrocan and Monroe.
But it seems Mariah’s die-hard fans aren’t too bothered about her unusual requests.
“Everyone has been very respectful of the rule so far,” the source continued.
“Most of them are just so excited to meet Mariah they haven’t cared too much about the fact they have to keep their distance. But a few fans have been grumbling it’s a bit unfair.” Last week Mariah upset gig-goers in Leeds by turning up 45 minutes late – after staying in bed until 3pm, 200 miles away in London.
The diva, 46, tweeted at 3.03pm she was reluctantly waking up late, telling fans: “I hate leaving this fabulous bed at the Corinthia London.”
Mariah , who had a No2 hit here with her cover of The Jackson Five’s song I’ll Be There, added: “See you all in Leeds in 30 mins.”
A British Airways flight to Leeds Bradford airport from London takes at least an hour.
