Musician’s are known for their odd demands in their concert riders while they’re on tour. John Mayer is one of those musicians. While we are happy to report that John seems to be very concerned about his hygiene, we are really curious as to what the Krazy Glue is for.

The backstage rider for Mayer includes a variety of items that we have not previously seen requested by other performers. Yes, the affable Mayer wants thinly sliced meat, soy milk, and an organic fruit bowl, according to the rider. But he also appears deeply committed to maintaining his oral hygiene and pleasant, toothy smile. Promoters must provide the 28-year-old musician with four “soft head” toothbrushes, a bottle of Listerine, two small tubes of mint-flavored toothpaste (Sensodyne or Tom’s of Maine), and two packages of Altoids breath mints. Mayer also needs four organic lip balms and some Gold Bond powder. And how can you not love a guy who requires a copy of The New York Times and one box of a “Kids Brand Cereal” (either Cap’n Crunch, Count Chocula, Lucky Charms, Cookie Crisp, or Cinnamin Toast Crunch)? And as for those two tubes of Krazy Glue, don’t draw the incorrect conclusion that some illicit huffing is occurring backstage. It’s our guess that the young bluesman uses the sticky stuff to somehow mend fingers shredded on his Stratocaster.
