It seems that Aussie singer Sia likes her mangoes sliced.

The pop star, who will land in Israel on Wednesday, a day before her concert in Tel Aviv’s Yarkon Park, has reportedly asked for her room at the Dan hotel in Tel Aviv to be stocked with water and plenty of fresh, sliced fruit — preferably mangoes, peaches and pineapple.

Luckily, the tropical fruits along with the summer stone fruits are still in season in Israel, particularly mini pineapples, a more recent addition to local fruit crops.

Sia also asked to have all alcoholic drinks removed from the suite for the duration of her stay, and also requested a humidifier for her room.

The pop star, whose full name is Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, is known for known for her hits “Chandelier” and “Elastic Heart,” after first writing lyrics American singer Christina Aguilera’s “Bionic” album.

Sia is also easily recognized for her head of blonde straight hair, often hanging in front of her face, reportedly because she isn’t so interested in paparazzi.

She comes from a musical family; Furler’s father, Phil Colson, is a musician and she is the niece of Colin Hay, a member of popular 1980s band Men at Work.
