Never one to be outdone by the demands of his younger, female diva rivals, Elton John has reportedly demanded a hotel in Brazil give him a chilled bedroom for his glasses.
The star checked into the five-star Ouro Minas hotel in Belo Horizonte with a long list of demands, mostly specifying his drinking specifications - and a 16 degree room to keep his glasses chilled.
"Elton John asked for an extra room in the hotel for some of his collection of glasses because he needs a temperature of 16c to preserve the accessories," said a spokesperson for the hotel to the Daily Telegraph.
The newspaper also lists Elton's demands as including four bottles of cranberry juice, a pint of skimmed milk, two bottles of Pinot Grigot wine, eight bottles of Evian water and a number of San Pellegrino sparkling water.
He also requested access to sports channels on his hotel room TV, which was apparently what stood out most to the hotel spokesperson, surprised at Elton's interest in sport.

Elton John will be roughing it slightly when he returns to the UK later in 2013, as he will headline this year's Bestival on the Isle Of Wight, his first ever UK festival show. September will be a busy month for Elton as he also releases new album, The Diving Board.
The new record, John’s 30th studio album, comprises songs written in two session with lomg-term collaborative lyricist Bernie Taupin.
Elton has said the new record will be the “most piano orientated album of my career.”
