Awwww God love him. :wub:

He definitely isn't bouncing about as much as normal. And I honestly think he looks a lot thinner :o

But he looks :wub: :wub: :wub:

(Not sure I'd have wanted to touch his hand though.... :lol: )

 

I should imagine he'd want to refrain from bouncing about too much! Especially with a delicate bottom!

Hot Tours: Take That, U2, Roger WatersHot Tours: Take That, U2, Roger Waters

 

A reunited Take That - the British boy band featuring Robbie Williams - tops Hot Tours, having stormed through the U.K., shattering gross records, including Bruce Springsteen's eight-year title as the highest grossing concert stand ever, a mark it topped twice on this tour.

 

Take That sold out eight concerts at Wembley Stadium June 30-July 9, with a gross of £38,094,558, according to Billboard Boxscore. The U.S. dollar equivalent of that is $61.7 million, far and away the highest gross ever reported to Billboard. Attendance was 623,737, also a record. The act also captured the second highest gross ever, with eight more sellouts at City of Manchester Stadium June 3-12 taking in £27,273,546 ($44 million U.S.) with attendance of 443,223. In total, Take That's run through the U.K. grossed $185,175,360 U.S. and drew 1,806,473 fans to 29 shows from May 27 through July 9.

 

 

Take That played multiple performances at all seven of the stadiums included in this week's Hot Tours tally, selling out all 29 concerts. The tour began with four shows at the Stadium of Light in the English city of Sunderland on May 27, followed by the Manchester run and performances in Cardiff, Dublin, Glasgow and Birmingham before the London shows. The Progress Live Tour then moved on to play stadiums in a handful of other European markets during July with a final performance planned for July 29 at the Olympic Stadium in Munich.

 

Springsteen's stand at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. in 2003 grossed $38.6 million and drew 566,560 to 10 sellouts. The dollar amount now ranks third all-time with the Boss' attendance figure settling into the runner-up slot among all-time Boxscore reports.

 

 

Rounding out Billboard's list of the top five concert grosses on record are The Spice Girls at No. 4 with $33.8 million from 17 shows at London's O2 Arena during the winter of 2007-08, and U2 at No. 5 with $32.7 million from three concerts at São Paulo, Brazil's Estádio do Morumbi earlier this year.

 

 

 

U2 meanwhile claims the No. 2 spot on our weekly Hot Tours recap with reports submitted from its three-night trek through eastern Canada. The rock legends played a pair of sold out shows at Hippodome de Montreal on July 8 and 9 which preceded a full house at Toronto's retractable roof stadium Rogers Centre on July 11. The three shows grossed just over $24 million (U.S.) from an aggregate crowd of 220,886.

She had a more RNB comeback 'Soldier of Love' about a year ago or so. A true legend for Africa isn't she?
