Stereophonics star Kelly Jones ditches junk food and alcohol from tour rider

Kelly Jones no longer has junk food and alcohol in his tour rider.

The Stereophonics frontman has confessed that he opts for healthier snacks backstage in order to make sure that his jeans still fit him.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column ahead of Stereophonics’ headline slot at the Isle of Wight festival this weekend, Kelly said: “The Nineties were crazy – a totally different social situation. It’s like another planet now.

“I think there are some things on our rider that are still the same as back then – because nobody has bothered to change it.

“There’s always beer and wine. It used to be 12 boxes of pizza and a crate of lager. But when your jeans stop fitting you, you’ve got to get that right – those requests don’t work at 50!”

The Dakota artist revealed that the rockers now have gym equipment and organic food ready for them when they come off stage.

Kelly explained: “Let’s say the takeaway order at the end of the night is a little more extravagant and healthier these days.

“Now there’s more gym gear backstage – that was definitely not there in the Nineties.

“Like a weight bench and stuff. It sits there – it gathers clothes a lot.

“We all still travel on the bus together, we all still go out for dinner together, we go for a drink after together.

“Thankfully, we all get on – not every band does – and we’ve had the same crew for 25 years, so it’s a family-orientated vibe.”

Meanwhile, Kelly revealed earlier this year that he turned down the chance to see a Stereophonics tribute band who have a lead singer called “Belly Jones”.

The Welsh rocker describes it as a privilege when people cover the band’s music but chose not to attend a working men’s club in his homeland to watch the tribute act over Easter.

The 51-year-old musician told The Dave Berry Breakfast Show on Absolute Radio in April: “I wake up on Sunday mornings, and people send me clips of people at weddings and bars and pubs singing my stuff a lot.

“And when I went home for Easter this weekend to see my family in Wales, my cousin said, ‘Do you want to come up to the working man’s club?’ I said, ‘Why? What’s happening? And she said, ‘There’s a Stereophonics tribute band playing.'”

He continued: “I think the singer, he’s a big guy, he’s called Belly Jones. So I said, ‘No’. My missus was like, ‘No, let’s go.’ Take the kids, have a good night.”
