![Jay Z & Kanye: The leaked rider for the hip hop giants is a sight for sore eyes - it's as diva as hell. Jay requires that the room temperature be precisely at 71 degrees, as well as three $80 Mayan tuberose-scented candles - he'll also only drink Ace Of Spades champagne. West meanwhile demands that all vases be cylindrical (yes really), all towels be black, as well as asking for 3 bottles of Paradis Hennessy, a total of 13 bottles of booze coming in at $3,200 - and a Genelecs 1031a speaker (despite being discontinued 10 years ago)]()

Katy Perry: This rider does not paint Perry or her management in a great light. Chauffeurs and wheelman are not allowed to "start a conversation" with Perry, or ask for an autograph or photo. It also, unforgivably, says that the venue might be asked to hold back tickets, so that they can provide them to re-sellers for "distribution on the secondary market."

Lady Gaga: Gaga would like a plate of cheese ("non-smelly, non-sweaty", which makes us feel a bit sick), dried mangoes, veggie dogs that can be eaten with tooth picks, assorted meats, guacamole and four Coke zeros.

50 Cent: There are a lot of food requests on 50 Cent's rider, but no beef or pork is allowed in the vicinity of 50 Cent's dressing room. Strangely though, he specifies a need for "beef bacon" earlier on. He also asks for two whole boxes of condoms, and, in capitals, SHRIMP MUST BE KEPT ON ICE.

The Beatles: In the Beatles' rider, which is from 1965, the band specify that they will not perform before a "segregated audience." On a lighter note, they also require two Cadillac limousines, air-conditioned if possible. Only if possible, they wouldn't want to put anyone out.

Iggy and the Stooges: Iggy Pop's rider is written as a stream of consciousness, and weaves real demands in with many jokes. "We need one monitor man who speaks good English and is not afraid of death. (Only joking... or am I?)" he writes. For food, "local cusine is acceptable or steak/chicken, endangered species, snake, whale or nurse shark."

Bjork: Her backstage area must be big enough for 30 people, furnished with ample seating and soft lighting, and "efforts to create a homely atmosphere are highly appreciated." The rider also asks that a masseuse, acupuncturist and reflexologist are available for sessions, adding: "This is very important to her." For dinner, she asks for a selection of french cheeses, including (in bold) GOAT'S CHEESE and GOAT BRIE.
