MADONNA has reportedly demanded a bottle of vodka for the opening night of her UK tour tomorrow (30JUL06) - to clean sweat marks from her stage outfits.
Staff at Cardiff, Wales' Millennium Stadium were surprised to discover the true purpose of request - a secret passed onto Madonna from opera singer friends.
A show insider says, "Everyone was surprised when we were told it was to wash her clothes. Apparently it's sprayed over perspiration marks. The alcohol kills off bacteria and keeps the stage clothes fresher. It's a trick they use in the opera because the big divas perspire such a lot on stage."
