Rolling Stones relax with lilies and cricket after gigs
Jan 19, 2006, 18:52 GMT

London - The Rolling Stones, currently on tour in the US, are cutting back on hard living and now demand nothing but bouquets of white lilies and satellite TV to watch the cricket after a gig, it was reported Thursday.

The ageing rockers ask organizers to provide for a 'running area' to warm up before concerts and insist on having their own snooker table for a game.

Band leader Mick Jagger, 62, also regularly instructs staff to find out which satellite channel is showing cricket, the website The Smoking Gun said.

'That is the channel we need most of all,' the wish list says.

Band members Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts all want vases of white Casablanca lily arrangements with weeping eucalyptus, but Jagger does not want any flowers.

The rider for the 'A Bigger Bang' US tour also reveals the nicknames the band give to their dressing rooms.

Jagger calls his the 'Workout', while former jazz drummer Watts christened his 'The Cotton Club' after the historic Harlem venue.

Rhythm guitarist Wood prepares for a performance in the 'Recovery', while hard-living lead guitarist Keith Richards names his room 'Camp X-Ray' after the US detention facility at Guantanamo Bay.
