10 Tour Rider Requests More Demanding Than Nicki Minaj’s

You knew I was going to start with this one. Van Halen famously requested a bowl of m&ms with all the brown ones picked out, supposedly to make sure the people at the venue were paying attention to every detail of their show.

The r&b diva insisted she be surrounded by 100 white doves and 20 white kittens at a 2009 Christmas lighting event in London.

Katy Perry's tour rider includes French ornate style floor lamps, seasonal fresh flowers ("ABSOLUTELY NO CARNATIONS"), and for underlings not to speak to her or look her in the eye.

A box of Cuban cigars, which one must break the law in order to obtain.

Iggy Pop's rider for a 2001 tour called for seven dwarves (dressed up like the character's from Disney's Snow White) and broccoli (so he could throw it in the garbage).

The aging shock rocker always requests "a bald hooker with no teeth." He says he's mainly joking, but would still be happy if one someday showed up.

Three boxes of condoms and a GALLON of Hennessy. That's like, $800 worth of Hennessy.

25 cases of freaking Kabbalah water.

The people's rapper requested "one organic cheese tray to include the following cheeses of very good quality: English or French blue cheese, goat cheese, cave-aged Gruyere, Swiss, sharp cheddar." Bouncing back well from truffle-fry-gate, I see.

Bruce Springsteen's tour rider requests have included "a security guard for Bruce's guitar" and "a whole roasted chicken to be delivered to sax player Clarence Clemons' dressing room half way through the concert."
