Many of us like to attend concerts of great stars, but not everyone understands the efforts that the organization of the performance of a world famous person sometimes involves. Artists, depending on their popularity, establish riders, that is, the conditions that must be met when conducting performances. Technical riders of singers may mention a simple pumpkin pie, but sometimes their requests have no limits, and some even ask to bring a living monkey to the room, melt water or an assistant to smooth the carpet in the dressing room. We are interested in the requirements of the most famous people in the world. And we must admit that many of them may surprise: if some requirements and orders seem simple or small quirks, others can cause serious bewilderment for an ordinary person.
Robbie Williams
His list of requirements is one of the most impressive. The organizers must provide the star with two hundred and eighty towels, three fire extinguishers, as well as three personal locker rooms, six staff rooms and five office rooms for managers. Among the staff, the singer requires a personal masseur, six cooks and as many bodyguards.
Among his gastronomic desires: 16 liters of milk, twenty-four donuts, forty-eight chicken eggs. The number should contain an image of the Dalai Lama, bonsai and ashtrays, at least four pieces. This British singer loves everything exotic: once he asked to bring him a living monkey. Future organizers of his concerts are now afraid to even suggest that Robbie would like the next exotic thing for herself.
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer wants to see her dressing room, decorated in a certain style: the walls are white, the furniture too. There should be twenty-four white roses in the vase; melt water bottles are also required. Apparently, Lopez loves white. Also in the room should be aloe juice, coconuts and fresh cinnamon.
Beyonce
Among the requirements of the singer is a two-room locker room, the temperature in which should not exceed twenty-two degrees. In addition, there should be a new coffee machine and candles with the scent of roses. Her special menu requirements include chicken thighs with cayenne pepper and the absence of Coca-Cola products. During her visit to Moscow, Beyonce once ordered ten Mercedes-Benz cars with tinted windows.
Kanye West
The rider of the famous rapper, producer and composer includes black hand towels from the Versace brand and a driver's uniform made of high quality pure cotton. His most original wish is a carpet-making assistant in the dressing room, cylinder-shaped vases in the room and Genelec studio monitors, despite the fact that their production was interrupted ten years ago.
Elton John (main photo)
Elton John demands to provide him with a special room for his large collection of lenses (in total there are about four thousand pairs). It is necessary to observe special storage conditions (a certain humidity and temperature of not more than sixteen degrees). There should also be silver cutlery inlaid with precious stones and exotic fruits from South America.
Paul McCartney
Special wishes of the legend of British rock music: six pots with plants with dense foliage (but not trees), the leaves should be bulky and uniform both near the stem and from above.In addition, rooms should be decorated with white lilies of the Casablanca variety with thick leaves and compositions of freesia and pale pink white roses, which will have long stems. Under no circumstances should there be anything in the dressing room or in the hotel room that would remind the performer of the death of animals: fur products, skins and leather. In addition, it is necessary to exclude meat dishes from the menu.
Sting
In the rider of this idol of millions of fans, we find eight black towels, organic fruits, chamomile infusion, potted plants, a special room for musical instruments and a room for meditation. At the singer’s concert, all observers should wear the same t-shirts and jackets and not take weapons with them. It also requires the presence of an otolaryngologist in order to deliver a vitamin injection to the musician if necessary.
Adele
A successful singer categorically forbids the presence of organic honey in a radius of ten meters around her. The menu should have sandwiches with chicken and salad and the best red wine. And in the dressing room six metal spoons are required. It is worth noting that she is the least pretentious among other celebrities.
Taylor Swift
Taylor's requirements are mainly related to her diet. Among them - a large latte with two packets of sweetener, a serving of pumpkin pie from Starbucks cafe, one hundred grams of butter, twelve bottles of Newcastle beer. Ben & Jerry's avocado and half a liter of chocolate frozen yogurt are also required.
Thus, most stars to ordinary people seem bizarre and strange, especially when it comes to their needs and orders. Sometimes the organizers are knocked down to fulfill the entire list of quirks of one or another famous person. And indeed, it is hard to imagine that a monkey in the room and a person who smoothes the carpet may need someone at all. Perhaps the stars are thus trying to get their own price to be loved and respected even more. Maybe from a lot of money earned dizzy? Nevertheless, such wishes take place in the world of show business. And they are a very frequent occurrence, passing from one extreme to another.
