GN’R’s Reunion Tour is Making History
The Guns N’ Roses “Not In This Lifetime…” tour has been making so much bank it’ll go down in the record books.
According to Billboard, the tour has so far earned over $475 million dollars and currently sits as the fourth highest grossing tour of all time. The top three are Coldplay’s “A Head Full of Dreams” tour ($523 million), The Rolling Stones’ “A Bigger Bang” tour ($558 million) and U2’s 360 tour ($736 million.)
Rolling Stone 50th Anniversary Special Gets Pulled
Per The Hollywood Reporter, ABC will no longer be airing its 3-hour long special in honor of Rolling Stone’s 50th anniversary. The special was set to air on February 7. No statement or explanation has been given by ABC, but there’s no doubt the recent sexual harassment accusations against founder Jann Wenner had something to do with it.
Kid Rock’s Generous Food Bank Donations
Kid Rock has always made a point to give back, and he’s doing it big to kick off 2018.
He recently tweeted, “I also wanted to start 2018 off on a positive note, hoping to influence others who have been as blessed as me, by donating 50k to the Second Harvest Food Banks of West Michigan and Middle Tennessee (25k each – the checks will go out today.) I think it is important to help others out, especially this time of year when it is cold and the holidays can be such a strain on some who are really struggling to try to make ends meet. Please do what you can to help. They have other locations all across America.”
