FROM shepherd’s pie to kittens and, er, prunes, touring music acts have requested some odd stuff on their riders, the list of what they want in their dressing rooms.
Taylor Swift this week put in a massive order for Greggs sausage rolls and steak bakes for her backstage team as she kicked off her Eras Tour in Edinburgh.
But who has had the weirdest wants? John Siddle reveals all . . .
Iggy Pop
ROCK god Iggy once apparently asked for seven dwarfs, someone to impersonate late US comic Bob Hope and a brand of cigarettes he didn’t like – “to throw in a bin”.
Cher
CAN you Believe that one of the legend’s requests for her 2019 Here We Go Again tour was said to be a chocolate fountain and slush machine.
Barbra Streisand
SHE sang You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, but Barbra apparently asks for rose petals sprinkled in her toilet bowl when travelling.
Eminem
THE Real Slim Shady rapper was reported to have requested live koi carp in 2011. The Real Fin Shady, perhaps.
Van Halen
AMERICAN rockers wanted M&M’s sweets but “absolutely no brown ones” and a large tube of KY jelly lubricant. They did it to check venues were reading their contract.
J-Lo
JENNY From The Block singer is reported to have requested “white flowers, white tablecloths, white curtains, white candles and white couches” for one show.
Axl Rose
ON a 2012 tour, Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose is said to have asked for a square melon.

Rolling Stones
THE rockers revelled in their wild boys image but the band’s rider apparently requested shepherd’s pie, paint brushes – and a telly so they could keep up with the cricket.
Mariah Carey
DIVA is said to have asked for 20 white kittens and 100 white doves when appearing at a Christmas lights event.
Britney Spears
TROUBLED singer is said to have demanded McDonald’s cheeseburgers (minus the buns), 100 figs and prunes and a fish and chips supper when she played at London’s O2 arena in 2011.
