JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com– There are the actions of world celebrities that Adrie Subono has to deal with as a promoter.

Apart from Mariah Carey and Westlife, the founder of Java Musikindo was also confused by singer Avril Lavigne.

During a concert in Jakarta in 2005, Avril refused to enter the hotel provided by the promoter.

“So at that time we wanted to stay at the Hilton hotel because we had a collaboration,” said Adrie Subono, quoted from YouTube Vindes.

“When he was at Hilton, he didn’t like it, because he had a rival, Paris Hilton, who was dating his ex-girlfriend,” added Adrie.

Finally, because Avril refused to stay at the hotel, even for personal reasons, Adrie moved her to another five-star hotel.

“Personal (reasons), ‘I don’t want to live there,’ that’s crazy,” said Adrie.

“We bartered at the hotel, we didn’t pay our own rate. We moved to the Mulia Hotel, it’s expensive,” he added.

For your information, at that time Avril was reportedly having an affair with Deryck Whibley, vocalist of the band SUM 41.

Meanwhile, Deryck was previously widely rumored to be dating Paris Hilton.

Even though the unique behavior of world celebrities is often related to personal matters, as a promoter, Adrie must be ready to face it.

Sometimes they ask for unreasonable things but they don’t use them either.

“We have to deal with things like that,” said Adrie Subono.

Previously, Adrie also revealed Mariah Carey’s unique request to provide a flat screen TV in the room.

It was unique because at that time in Indonesia there weren’t many flat screen TVs like Mariah Carey wanted.

“At that time in 2004, there weren’t many large, thin TV screens, right, they weren’t here yet, they were still tubes,” said Adrie.

“He asked to put a big screening TV in the room. There’s one in the hotel lobby,” he continued.

Adrie finally asked for the TV in the hotel lobby to be moved to Mariah Carey’s room.

“Finally we asked for help to be moved upstairs. He also doesn’t watch TV,” said Adrie Subono, laughing.
