10 Insane Backstage Demands Made By Musicians
4. Cher - A Room For Her Wigs
Known for her lavish outfits and performances, it comes as no surprise that this leading lady has a few wigs that need storing for each performance. What's the obvious solution? A wig room, of course!
She doesn’t specify a need for a separate room, but her rider does express the importance of having a separate space for her wigs and costumes. The room must have a large table accompanied by three chairs for the wigs to sit comfortably in while they wait their turn. Along with the wig room, Cher requests that there be a TV playing classic movies and a bouquet of freshly-cut lilies and gardenias. There is a strict ban on plastic plants in her chambers, and her massage therapist must be given a separate room too.
Cher’s list of requests definitely doesn’t match her onstage persona, but the singer puts that down to the fact that she makes sure to bring everything with her. All rockstars should be more like Cher. Why make others' lives difficult just so that you can stay true to the rockstar persona?
