They also said "The standard was set for gugs at the O2 by Prince" Ah, yes, but is that before they have deducted his clipper fares? 21 nights in London.. thats 42 journeys (there and then back to the hotel). All adds up. So, i'd say 8 mil is a little wide of the mark there. | |

Awful article. Gav mate I certainly wasn't commenting on the quality of the London Paper 
However, his revenue was obviously in that ballpark with a minimal of overhead in comparison to a tour that actually, ahem, tours! | |

[Edited 1/14/08 13:52pm] The difference I think is that Prince as an independant artist keeps most of the money for himself. I don't think it is the case for the bands mentionned in this top ten...
