IT TAKES an awful lot to make Pharrell Williams “Happy” — his backstage demands could give any diva a run for her money.
The laundry list of items the singer demands in his dressing room before concerts includes, booze, snacks — and a framed photograph of late astronomer Carl Sagan, according to a 2015 tour rider of his requests obtained by The Smoking Gun.
“When I look at that picture I realise how lucky we all are … to be on this planet and be able to do what we love to do every day,” Williams has said. “Seeing Carl’s face reminds me of it.”
Other items include Nilla Wafers, a case of alkaline water, 12 cans of “SUPER COLD” soda, Pedialyte, a litre of Silver Patron Tequila and another of Kettle One vodka, Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion, fresh ginger root, a jar of grape jelly and one loaf of gluten-free bread.
The rider explains that Williams, 42, has adopted the Atkins Diet, and wants his and his crew’s grub “to be specifically cooked for him on a daily basis at the venues.”
And all advertisements inside the venue must be removed or darkened, because, he explains, “we are not hawking pizza or the local ambulance chaser.”
