SHAPING UP: Eminem's backstage requests
included dumbbells, healthy snacks
and a full-length mirror.
Eminem requested a pond full of carp on his recent rider.
The hip-hop star headlined the Tennent's Vital festival in Northern Ireland last week. He was asked for a list of necessities he'd need backstage and was only too happy to come up with some demands.
One of the strangest reported requirements was a wooden pond filled with koi carp.
"The pond was constructed backstage in his VIP garden and filled with the colourful fish which cost between £200 and £600 ($NZ389 to $584)," reports British newspaper The Sun.
Eminem didn't stop there.
He also asked for a full-length mirror so he could check he was stage-ready before his performance, and wanted rolling clothes racks to keep his costumes crease-free. The rapper requested dumbbells so he could work out backstage as well as a microwave.
As far as his food went, the 38-year-old was happy to stay healthy. Seedless watermelon, a tray of crudities with ranch dip, yoghurt and pretzels were all included on the rider.
The requests were a lot more diet-conscious than those made by fellow hip-hop star Snoop Dogg earlier this year. While performing in the UK he asked for £100 ($NZ195) worth of McDonald's as well as some spicy chicken.
