Oh, thou temptress of ticket sales with your wizardry of wiley concert tours…
Randy Phillips, head of AEG Live, however, says that 2010 was a great year for his company, citing the success of Bon Jovi and others. Phillips expects another strong year in 2011 with stadium shows by Kenny Chesney and Taylor Swift and tours by Bon Jovi, Black Eyed Peas and Cher.

So I guess this will be the Retirement Sucks Tour. That’s what Ozzy Osbourne titled his After-Farewell Tour anyway. Maybe Cher could seize on that. Honestly, I have mixed feelins about a new tour.
It will of course be perceived a big money grab. And I don’t look forward to all the sneering from cynicis and critics full of outrage about a a reneging of one of the most dramatic of goodbye tours.
But of course I will go a purchase merchandise. Why? Because that's what I do.
