Justin Bieber is without a doubt one of the biggest stars in the world, with the Canadian popstar experiencing the highs and lows of fame for the last 15 years or so.
The 'Baby' star is so popular, in fact, that people even pretend to be him to experience the perks, even if it's just for one night.
His marriage to Hailey Bieber is also one of the most publicised and covered in Hollywood, so you can understand when the 31-year-old has outbursts or displays some odd behaviour online to cope with the scrutiny.
So it should come as no surprise that Bieber's apparent rider list piqued the interest of fans around the world, because what would a multi-Grammy-winning artist possibly want at his disposal when preparing for a performance?

A lot, it turns out.
Firstly, a rider list, also known as an artist rider, is a document which lists an artist's hospitality and technical requirements for a performance at a venue or location.
If only us regular people could have a wish list like that fulfilled, eh?
Back in May 2017, the father-of-one made headlines after his alleged rider ahead of his show in Mumbai, India, as part of his Purpose tour, was leaked by a music journalist and subsequently reported by the BBC.
Unsurprisingly, there's a lot on it for Bieber and his entourage of 120 people for their stay - so here are the highlights:
- A convoy of 10 luxury sedans
- Two Volvo buses
- Rolls Royce for Bieber himself
- Ping pong table
- Playstation
- Sofa set
- Washing machine
- Refrigerator
- Upholstery
- Wardrobe cupboard
- Massage table (for use backstage, of course)
- Arrangements for a Jacuzzi
- A 'special' Indian Yoga Casket with aromatic essential oils such as jasmine, mogra, rose and camphor incense sticks
If you thought this was it, there's a lot more - such as two five-star hotels being reserved for safety reasons, as well as top chefs who are responsible for making five dishes per day over four days, all of which will be named after his songs.
Bieber also requested that his dressing room backstage be draped with white curtains, while also flying in a special masseuse from the Indian city of Kerala.
To top it all off, there was also a private jet and a chopper on standby to meet the star's needs while he was in the country, while he asked for specific drinks and food types to be available to him, along with specific types of clothing in his dressing room.
Who says celebrities are low maintenance?
