Several international celebrities have arrived in India recently, but none had these bizarre demands as Canadian sensation Justin Bieber has. The singer's bizarre demands list, including a Rolls Royce and a convoy of 10 luxury sedans, has gone viral on social media.
On Wednesday, music journalist Arjun S Ravi shared a "press release" from Bieber's team and that features a list of demands that the singer has made before his India visit. The long list includes a convoy of 10 luxury sedans, two Volvo buses and 120 people. He also needs a Rolls Royce and special security cars with Z+ level security.

"10 containers will be flown in with items like a ping pong table, PlayStation, IO HAWK, sofa set, washing machine, refrigerator, upholstery, wardrobe cupboard, massage table that will be used backstage. Arrangements for a Jacuzzi have also been made for Bieber's personal use to unwind before he takes to the stage," the list shared by the journalist stated.
For the singer, the organisers have booked two five star hotels for security purpose. Top chefs will make dishes named after his popular songs. His personal suite will be redesigned with Mogul paintings and antique furniture to give a more rustic look.
