10 Insane Backstage Demands Made By Musicians

10. Iggy Pop - Bob Hope Impersonator And "Seven Dwarfs"

Currently touring the world, this 72-year-old rockstar has a long history of wild backstage requests. Most bands and musicians have a tour rider that highlights their likes and a few of their must-haves in their backstage rooms, buses, and caravans.

Iggy Pop had a 28-page rider back in 2012 that quickly became public news thanks to some of the hilarious requests on the list. But two of his terms were strange enough to be worthy of a mention on this list. The rider was authored by stage manager Joe Grain who was clearly having a bit of fun while writing it. The rider clearly states that Iggy and his guests would like to have the seven dwarfs in their cabin at all times. However, it does mention that if seven small men can't be found, tall men will do just fine. One thing that was highlighted was the need for each man to be wearing a pointy hat. Who knows what that is all about.

Another strange request on his list is a Bob Hope impersonator. The alternative for the impersonator is a belly dancer.
