The Weirdest and Wildest Requests from Celebs on Tour

Van Halen

Request: The group wanted the removal of all brown M&Ms from the candy bowl
Cost of Request: $5K

Van Halen’s infamous demand to remove all brown M&Ms from their candy bowl has become a legendary rockstar tale. This peculiar request was included in their contract to ensure that promoters had read all the details of their Rider. If any brown M&Ms were found, the band could cancel the show without performing.

Apparently, this quirky requirement was less about personal preference and more about quality control. Van Halen’s attention to such minute details ensured that their entire setup met their high standards, ultimately delivering the best possible performance for their fans.
