Food sculptor Paul Baker was commissioned by the Beefeater Grill UK restaurant chain to recreate the Beatles’ famous Abbey Road cover. Ironically, the chain’s beefy name didn’t prevent Baker from keeping vegetarian Paul McCartney‘s ideals in mind. While the rest of the album is crafted from breakfast foods like sausage and bacon, Baker ensured McCartney was made of mushrooms.

Joe Elliott Of Def Leppard Says Band’s Mostly Vegetarian

Joe Elliott

Phil Collen has long been the face representing Def Leppard’s vegetarian side.

But during an interview with NPR,  singer Joe Elliott reveals most of the guys actually eat a plant-based diet. That means everyone noshes on hummus and pretzels at those wild backstage parties with scantily clad groupies.

NPR: I imagine cause you’re on tour with Poison and Lita Ford, that these are really wild backstage parties, but I read that you guys are all vegetarians and you just go to sleep at 8:30.

JE: Where do you get your information from? It’s fantastic. I love that man. “We’re all vegetarians.” Well, for a start, we don’t even go on stage ’til 9:15 so going to bed at 8:30 is a bit of a non-starter. Two and a half of us are vegan — if that makes sense cause Vivian is a lactopescetarian, which means he eats fish.

The Foo Fighters aren’t complete vegetarian haters.

After all, they didn’t turn down and even praised the winning vegan cornbread stuffing during a guest chef appearance on Top Chef.

But in a comical, 52-page tour rider containing animated drawings, funny lists and other satirical written material, the band jokingly reminds staff to remember their vegetarian crew members who unfortunately, weren’t gotten rid of by “the crusades.”

These instructions are included with menu no-nos, which include “pubic hair,” and punishments for not following instructions, which including receiving a wedgie.
