Elton John had his own barbecue set up at the original Live Aid concert in 1985 and was seen grilling burgers for David Bowie and Freddie Mercury. The anecdote comes via reporter Spencer Bright, who was at the historic show and witnessed Elton’s masterful grill work. According to Bright, Elton brought in his own mobile home as a dressing room and had it well-stocked with meats for the grill. “Elton John liked his creature comforts and sent his own mobile-home to change in. Just in case the catering wasn’t up to scratch, he brought his own grill and was seen flipping burgers for David Bowie and Freddie Mercury,” he told the Daily Mail. “The dressing rooms were not quite what most stars were used to — six shabby mobile cabins with peeling lino and doors that didn’t lock. A hand-written timetable pinned on each door gave the names of the artists and the times they were allowed in — half an hour before and half an hour after their sets.” Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com.
