Frank Sinatra's legacy is one of glamour, music, and undeniable star power — but a newly resurfaced glimpse into his backstage world is giving fans a laugh.
According to Far Out magazine, the now viral document was unearthed by Florida concert promoter Tom Brady, and dates back to a canceled 1991 Ohio show. It spans 20 pages, with one section detailing the "Frank Sinatra Dressing Room Contents." While some items were expected — red wine, ham and cheese sandwiches, and plenty of towels — others revealed the crooner's quirkier side.
The rider listed 37 must-haves, including a "private telephone with dedicated line," which in the early '90s was no small request. An upright piano also made the cut, as though a last-minute rehearsal or impromptu performance was always on the table. Six boxes of Kleenex seemed excessive, while the carton of Camel non-filter cigarettes was a reminder of Sinatra's signature old-school image.

But what really charmed fans were the sweets. Sinatra insisted on 12 rolls of cherry Life Savers and 12 rolls of assorted flavors waiting for him backstage. Some specifications seemed oddly meticulous, like the demand that all sodas be served at "75%," a note that leaves more questions than answers.
Fans were quick to jump in the comments of a viral video on TikTok, noting on how bizarre some of Sinatra's requests were.
"That's a grocery list for a family of 6 , for a month," one noted.
"No filter camels is insane work," said a second user.
A third wrote, "6 boxes of Kleenex bro was going crazy."

Others defended the late singer, with one even bringing Justin Bieberinto the mix: "Used to work in hospitality. This isnt that bad. Just Bieber 'required' there to be a ps4 pro, and like 10 specific games as well as a brand new tv."
Another shared, "You all would be appalled at some of the other celebrity riders if you think this one is bad."
Of course, eccentric riders are nothing new in music history. Beyoncé allegedly requested hand-carved ice balls and titanium straws, while Prince was said to keep a doctor on call for vitamin shots. Still, Sinatra's mix of grandeur and small indulgences feels uniquely his own.
