High gas prices in America are hurting the touring business for bands. “If I have an act that’s about to go on a 40-day tour and they’ve got five trucks and five buses, and a 40-day tour could be over 20,000 miles, that’s almost an additional cost of $6,000 a vehicle. So if I have 10 vehicles, that’s an additional $60,000. That money comes directly out of the artist’s bottom line.”
