The Police Remain The Kings Of Payin’
…amid the recent Police tour frenzy, I thought you’d appreciate knowing that everyone’s favorite punk-turned-jazz rockers are listed on [a major booking site] as making 2 to 4 million per show. As a tour-cash barometer…here’s what some other top acts are listed as making:
The Rolling Stones: 1.5-3 mil
U2: 1.5-2 mil
Paul McCartney: 1-2 mil
Simon & Garfunkel: 750k-1.5 mil
Madonna: 500k-1.5 mil
Celine Dion: 350k-1.5 mil
Guns N Roses: 250-400k
Radiohead: 200-350k
And, just to make a point…here’s what The Police members make when flying solo:
Sting: 150k-1 mil
Stewart Copeland: 10-50k
Andy Summers: 10k
A mere $10,000 for Summers? We’re pretty sure Juelz Santana got three times that just for showing up at a house party in Paramus, N.J. for an episode of My Super Sweet 16.
