oADoNNA was so keen for everything to be all white on the night of the Live8 extravaganza that she insisted on buying the outfits for all 29 people appearing on stage with her.
She wanted her five-piece band, two backing vocalists, two dancers and 20 gospel choir singers to wear the white of Make Poverty History, but did not want them bringing their own clothes.
She spent part of Friday afternoon personally approving every piece of clothing that had been bought on her orders. Then the 46-year-old told them all that they were not allowed to sit in their outfits for half an hour before going on stage because she did not want anyone getting them dirty.
