As the scandal over MP expenses grows and grows, I take a look at 10 music riders that are so extravagant and zany that the stars in question could almost pass as those “greedy swines” over at Westminster. In fact, some would even make those multiple home owning bastards blush.
Featuring Lil Wayne, The Killers, Amy Winehouse, Rage Against The Machine, Rihanna and more, below are some of the finest riders to be found on The Smoking Gun. From huge sums of hard cash upfront to presidential suite hotel rooms to bucket loads of booze, the riders are truly any promoter's nightmare:

Lil Wayne – The rap superstar's rider is epic in many ways. First up he requires 50% of the agreed six-figure fee is handed over in cash before the show. For his living accommodation he demands that he stays in the presidential suite of a 5* hotel that must measure least 1,000 square feet. And travel? Well he demands to be chartered in a private jet and receive a two car police escort upon arrival. His drinking demands are equally flashy – two bottles of Hennessy XO Cognac ($120 each) and two bottles of Perrier-Jouet champagne ($100 each).
