Red Hot Chili Peppers Make Diva-Like Demands

Red Hot Chili Peppers are almost on a par with pop divas like Madonna after it emerged they made some high maintenance demands at the Reading Festival at the weekend.

The rockers headlined the main stage on the Saturday, but reportedly ordered a wooden walkway to be erected from their backstage pen to the stage to avoid them getting muddy.

The same Sun report alleges that they also made sure that their entire backstage area was sealed off too - so much so, that their manager Cliff Burnstein couldn’t get in to see them.

The Chili Peppers’ headline set itself was blighted with sound problems during the opener ‘Can‘t Stop‘, with many audience members booing because of the low volume. This was later attributed to the accidental tripping of a cable.
