Alcohol and drugs will also reportedly be banned
Beyoncé will reportedly have members of her crew undergo ‘MeToo’ checks ahead of an as-yet unannounced world tour.
Her dancers, band and crew are set to have background checks in advance of the tour kicking off in a bid to “make the tour a safe and friendly work environment”, according to The Sun, and to prevent instances of sexual misconduct.
A source also suggested that alcohol and drugs would be banned both in rehearsals and on the tour itself. “Bey knows the new performances will require intense choreography and precision, so everyone has to be clean and sober,” said the source. “There won’t be any crazy partying on the road either.”
Beyoncé will also reportedly provide the crew with access to mental health support and resources. “She knows people are happiest when they know their well-being is fulfilled,” continued the source, “and wants to use what she has learned in the business to lead by example.”
The dates of the ‘Renaissance’ tour have not yet been announced, but the tour was seemingly confirmed back in October when the singer auctioned off at the fifth annual Wearable Art Gala “two concert tickets to Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ 2023 tour” alongside a backstage tour from Beyoncé’s mum, Miss Tina. The tour has been slated to kick off in summer 2023.
Beyoncé’s recent single ‘Cuff It’ was crowned NME’s Song Of The Year 2022. “It should be a government mandated requirement for this celebration of letting loose, falling in love and ‘gettin’ fucked up’ to be played at least once on all future nights out. Keir Starmer, shove this in your manifesto,” said writer Hannah Mylrea. ‘Break My Soul’, meanwhile, also appeared in the list at Number 20.
‘Renaissance’ came in at Number Three on NME‘s list of the best albums of 2022, which we described as “powerful, sultry and celebratory – and filled with tracks that more than encouraged you to ‘release the wiggle’.
She’d better check her hubby first.
I have absolutely no interest in anything any pop tart is doing or not doing.
Not sure why this is news... It’s a job, many require criminal and civil background checks to get hired.
I think they have an “open” marriage.
They’ll be doing THC gummies
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Getting rid of drugs and alcohol is proof positive that music has gone to hell.
The guitar player of RUSH said he and the bass player smoked some pot (and probably some other drugs?) before a concert. He said the sound check where they are just riffing off of each other and screwing around was some of the best music they ever played.
But when it came to the actual concert playing songs it was like trying to play with gloves on. Never again.
She’ll be doing solo a cappella. Or lying and pimping it up.
Another hypocritical “star” whose performances promote sex, drugs and alcohol forbids the products to her own staff . . .
Frank Zappa might have approved.
