It’s not all sex, drugs and rock’n’roll… Dua Lipa reveals she spends her time reading between gigs to pass the time on tour
Sex, drugs and rock’n’roll may be the first images that spring to mind when we think of young musicians on tour.
But popstar Dua Lipa seems determined to turn the page on that particular stereotype. The singer, 27, has revealed how she organised a book club with her crew during three years of touring from 2016.
Speaking at Hay Festival, the New Rules singer said: ‘If I wasn’t sleeping, I was reading. It helps you get through so many stories.
‘Especially on tour, I felt like I kind of already had a book club with the dancers and the photographer and everybody was sharing books with each other.
