Tour riders are a list of items that artists request to be in their dressing room backstage at their shows, and as you can imagine, sometimes those requests get a little bizarre. Wisebrother.com put together a list of the weirdest rider requests:
1. Weird Al Yankovic: He requested one "garish" Hawaiian shirt at every appearance. Eventually he stopped when he collected too many.
2. Cher: She likes a separate room for her wigs.
3. Jennifer Lopez: She prefers an all-white dressing room to keep her mind and spirit at ease. So, white candles, couches, tables, and flowers.
4. Rihanna: She likes to have a plush, animal print rug to walk barefoot on.
5. Justin Timberlake: He has doorknobs sanitized every two hours.
6. Beyoncé: She has her dressing room set to 78 degrees and likes to have well-seasoned chicken.
7. Selena Gomez: After her breakup with Justin Bieber in 2014, she had those on her team named Justin go by different name
8. Jay-Z: During a 2009 tour, he requested SEVEN dressing rooms and high-quality peanut butter and jelly.
9. Britney Spears: At a 2011 London show, she requested McDonald's cheeseburgers without the buns, 100 figs and prunes, toothpaste, fish and chips, and a framed photo of Princess Diana.
10. Metallica: During their 2004 tour, they requested bacon to be served with every meal.
I'm not totally sure how accurate these are, but none of them would surprise me that much. What would you request backstage?
