10 Absolutely Insane Rider Requests By Spoilt Musicians
2. A Whole House - Prince
From his songs to his stage shows to his outfits, Prince was wild, passionate and, above all else, he absolutely oozed style and charisma. After his tragic death in 2016, the stories that came out about him were too extravagant to believe had they been about anybody else other than Prince. Whether it be Charlie Murphy's story about being destroyed by him in basketball whilst wearing a blouse to Jimmy Fallon taking him on in a game of ping pong and pancakes, there seemed to be no end to the crazy stories.
Well, there's one more to add to that collection from back in 2007 when Prince was about to embark on a 21 show world tour. After booking several sold out gigs at the O2 arena in London, Prince requested that a house be built for him right next to the venue. Of course, the production team obliged and began work on Prince's modest 5 bedroom house by the Docklands.
This wasn't the first time a venue had to make special arrangements for Prince, at the Brit awards that same year, he requested that nobody look him in the eye and demanded people only looked at him through a special mirror.
