STEREOPHONICS frontman Kelly Jones has revealed he no longer has junk food and alcohol on his tour rider - in a bid to stay in shape.

The star from Cwmaman - whose band have scored number 1 hits with albums such as Performance and Cocktails - says he now opts for healthier snacks backstage to make sure his jeans still fit.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column ahead of Stereophonics' headline slot at the Isle of Wight festival this weekend, Jones said: "The '90s were crazy - a totally different social situation. It's like another planet now.

"I think there are some things on our rider that are still the same as back then - because nobody has bothered to change it.

"There's always beer and wine. It used to be 12 boxes of pizza and a crate of lager.
