The Rolling Stones’ rider requests from their recently-completed world tour shows a whole new side to the legendary rock group.
While some people doubted the Stones were slowing down, despite the band members being in their seventies, a list of rider demands from the group shows their priorities have shifted slightly.
TMZ has, naturally, obtained the sheet of requests from Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts.
The biggest surprise is that they ask for a list of instructions to be provided detailing how they work all the electrical equipment in any given room.
The band, who have a collective age of 285, have also requested blacked-out windows so they can get plenty of sleep.
After-hours dry cleaning and extra butlers for any and all extravagant room service requests they might have have also been included.
Just in case it makes them sound old and uncool, they also reportedly asked for copious amounts of Marlboro Reds and Marlboro Lights, which is a bit more rock ’n’ roll than saying “Mick doesn’t know how to work the dimmer switch in the bathroom”.
