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.
