What Famous Musicians Eat Backstage


If you’ve ever wondered what some of the music world’s biggest stars fight tooth and nail to get included in their riders (attachments that include amendments to contracts), Henry Hargreave’s of VICE has your answers. In particular, he has looked at length into what celebrities request in their riders, but with some of the demands climbing to the point of being ridiculous, he instead chose to photograph a sample of them in a very tongue-in-cheek Baroque still-life style.

Red Bull Stratos | Felix Baumgartner’s Free Fall From The Edge of Space

As you would expect, Baumgartner is no stranger to extreme sports. He is an accomplished BASE jumper and, using a carbon wing, was the first to free fall across the English Channel. On this dive he broke not only the previous altitude record of 102,000 feet for a skydive, but likely the speed of sound and the record for fastest free fall during his descent.
