TIESTO HAS BACK PROBLEMS FROM DJING SAYS CALVIN HARRIS

The toweringly tall DJ from Scotland, Calvin Harris stands at a mere 6 foot 5 inches and has scored massive hit songs in 2012.  Nevertheless, he's not worried about keeping pace with his ability to make mainstream hits or meet the demands of his home based progressive house fans.  Rather the artist is worried about his health, in particular his back.

In an interview with The Sun, Calvin Harris spoke of the dangers of being tall in the DJ game.  He pointed to Tiesto, who recently had to take the entire month of October off because of major back pain.  Calvin elaborated that Tiesto has incredibly injured his back because of DJing

“He did his back in and he’s been warning me,” Harris said of Tiesto, “if you’re a tall guy and you DJ you really need to watch that.”  If you were wondering Tiesto is mere inches shorter then Calvin Harris.  Calvin proceeded to explain that it is no longer of his interest to perform on improper equipment not suitable for his height. “There was one gig somewhere in Japan where the desk the mixer and CD changer were on was 3ft off the ground, ” he complained. “I was squatting and bending over just to get to the mixer — it wasn’t the best workout and I’m not taking any more chances.”

If your worried about not seeing Calvin Harris anytime fear not.  A simple addition to his rider contract, a request sheet an artist makes of a venue he plays at, for proper height tables.  He said in the interview, "a good tip is on my rider — I ask for a very tall desk so I don’t have to bend down.”
