Groupies are who you're thinking of for that. They're there to, like, build up the band member's egos, sing their praises, and are mostly around to try and get into their pants.
Roadies are people who travel with bands too, yeah, but to set up stage and make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. It's actually pretty frowned upon to be a roadie involved with any of the band since it's a working relationship even if more casual than professional sometimes. I can't say the lines never get crossed between roadie and groupie, but-! I was always just a roadie myself.
