They're not exactly tiny in the UK - they're doing the Apollo in Manchester again and they sold it out last time (same place Motorhead, Alice Copper, Slash aswell as the hipper indie bands). I'm sure they're confortably well off personally, but can still imagine that they need to tour hard to pay for the album and the film, and thats why they had Floor on standby (suggesting that they knew things could fall apart) instead of postponing shows.
