Arctic Monkeys have revealed that they took inhalation from Britney, Kylie and Beyoncé for their upcoming tour.
The pair, who kick off the jaunt in Liverpool on November 13, admitted that they went to look a number of arena shows to look how other acts fill such a large stage.
"I'd never even been to a gig in an arena," singer Alex Turner told The Sun. "But currently, knowing we've got this coming up I've been trying to dip my toe into that.
"So I've seen Britney Spears at the O2, I saw Kylie the other week, and we went to see Beyoncé in Japan - to try and see how it pans out.
"And so those are the only gigs in arenas I've ever been to, apart from like WWF Wrestling when I was six, but that doesn't actually count."
Turner, who has been dating presenter and model Alexa Chung since July 2007, added that the group will focus more on the music than the visuals.
"There's not gonna be circus performers or bass solos," he said. "Beyoncé had an all girl band and one of them was doing these daft bass solos. No, there's not gonna be any horn sections.
"But you can't try and be all coy about it with something that big. I think to some degree you can't hold back. That's what I've learnt from those three anyway."
