Leona Lewis reportedly begins her new tour by entering the stage on a horse.
The singer, who was recently forced to pull out of supporting Christina Aguilera's gigs after she axed her US tour, kicks off her headline UK jaunt tonight and apparently opens the show riding a horse.
A source told the Daily Star that Lewis faced difficulties acquiring insurance for the stage act, claiming: "She wanted to kick off her show on horseback, partly as a film sequence and then live on stage, health and safety officials wouldn’t let her ride in the studio without a helmet.
"A load of lawyers tried to fine-tune the idea but Leona didn’t want to wear a hard hat. In the end, she had to sign a contract saying she wouldn’t be insured should she fall off."
It has also been reported that the 'Happy' singer was unhappy with her males dancers wearing only white pants during a routine involving a 15ft swan.
The source explained: "Leona didn’t feel comfortable with the dancers wearing white pants and there was a bit of a row with the choreographer."
Lewis is due to play 18 dates across the UK, including four dates at London's O2 arena.
