Guns N’ Roses Made How Much Money on Their South American Tour…?!
Guns N’ Roses concluded their classic lineup reunion tour in South America approximately three months ago. Now the numbers are out and it seems the tour was a massive success, earning the band a baffling $56,545,220 (US) from just 13 shows. Thirteen! Looking further at the numbers, the shows attracted a total of 565,173 people.
These numbers continue the trend from the group’s North American stretch where each show earned a mean of around $5.5 million during its nine-week stint, grossing them an estimated $116 million. Don’t go thinking that all this went to the band entirely; some went towards production, travel, their massive crew and more, but we’re willing to bet that the band members still went home with a good chunk of pocket change.
