Ok the facts. Struggling in arenas in the UK sure. But he hasn’t been here for 30 years and VH were never huge here. Arenas was always a gamble.
New shows have sold well and theatres was always the size that he should have been playing here. His last US tour was very successful as were the vegas residencies. He has been touring very successfully as a solo artist since he left VH but yes a VH tour givesl him a boost to areas. Again, no one is denying that.
