It is widely accepted that most musicians do not make the money they once did from the sale of CD's. As a result they are being forced to look to touring to bring in the cash.
Reunited rock group The Police had the highest-earning music tour in North America in 2007, official figures show. The band's 54 gigs in the US and Canada generated $131.9m (£66.5m), almost double the total of the second-placed act, country star Kenny Chesney.
Justin Timberlake was in third position, followed by Celine Dion and then Van Halen, another group which got back together to tour this year.
