After the cost of renting the arena, paying the musicians, transportation, hotel, insurance, fuel, prop/assembly workers deducted, what's left?
In other words, how much does Stevie Nicks get paid to walk onstage each night for the 24KG Tour?

When I saw Dolly Parton this year, she said to the crowd that by using a drum machine instead of a drummer during this tour, she saved $75,000! Her tour lasted quite a while, at least 6-7 months. I have no idea how much Stevie pays her band members, but for a 3 month tour I'd wager they get around half of $75,000 or less. Someone like Waddy would make more. Along with the tour merchandise, Stevie definitely rakes in the bucks.
