What's On Prince's Rider List?

Prince, along with Beyonce, Madonna and Mariah Carey were featured in the top ten “most demanding stars' craziest riders” for outrageous requests whilst touring.


According to The Sun (May 2013), Prince's 'crazy' rider includes:
  • A doctor on-call to administer vitamin jabs
  • All food covered in a clear plastic wrap
  • Yogi Choco tea
  • Jasmine and Lavender candles (for a soothing aroma)

Now, call me biased for being a fan, but what the hell is so "outrageous" or "crazy" about those simple requests? Compared to Beyonce's £600 titanium straws, Mariah Carey's (allegedly) attendant to dispose of her chewing gum and P Diddy's bullet-proof Maybach car, Prince's rider is relatively 'normal'.



Vitamin jabs are commonly used by people in all walks of life as a health booster. For a man in his fifties that burns up so much energy with his explosive performances, of course he's gonna use a little help.







Prince is obviously conscious of his food and wary about it being tampered with. Aren't most people? 







Prince has made references to this Yogi tea in the past so I can believe this. A few dollars spent on a box of tea is nowhere near as ridiculous as supplying Mariah Carey with Cristal Champagne. It looks quite refreshing too. I'd like to try some.







Scented candles are the best way to refresh a room (without the toxins of
aerosol room fresheners) and calm the mood. Being on the road so often, away from home, of course Prince wants some home comforts.


Prince, an International Superstar with a five decade career in the music business, demanding? Not in the slightest. These up and coming artists need to take notes from the Master.
