Speaker 3 (01:23):
K a very emotional Marvel story, so if you're into
that sort of thing. Also, the throne has been taken
for the top earning tour ever by a solo mail artist.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
It was an entertainer report. He's on the fread show.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
All right, Fred, you guessed a country singer, but it
was actually The Weekend who absolutely just shattered records with
his After Hours Till Dawn tour, allowing him to take
the throne as the top earning tour ever by a
solo mail artist.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, So this is including figures for his upcoming twenty
twenty six dates across Mexico, Brazil, Europe and the UK.
The tour has now sold more than seven point five
million tickets and grossed over one one billion dollars.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
That's wow, got choked up.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
That's a lot of money across one hundred and fifty
three states.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
A beat that moved me.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
I'll take you right what I wouldn't give. The tour
launched in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
It does feel like he's been on tour for years
and he has, I guess made its way through North
America twice, Europe, the UK.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Latin American, and Australia.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
In twenty twenty three, the Guinness Book of World Records
named The Weekend the most popular artist in the world,
while his single Blinding Lights went Certified Diamond and was
named the number one Billboard Hot one hundred song of
all time, surpassing Chubby checkers nineteen sixty hit The Twist, Oh.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, the Twist.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I uh.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I'm not taking anything away from him, but if your
tourist has been going on for three how does that count?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Three year twour? Of course he's made a lot of money.
Like if Taylor Swift to it for three years, it
would be billions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well, she did, damn near she went because she extent
she kept extending. I mean, not for three years, but
I think it was.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Like eighteen months, wasn't it. It doesn't matter, but I mean,
h yeah, So I can tour for ten years and
then call it the name and then so if I
had all the money never made in radio light on
the highest paid, I guess, but I'm not.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Hey. If he wants to do all that work and
go through North America twice, then I guess he earned it,
actually wants to do that.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
If I had to pull the money I've made in radio,
if Ryan still made more breeding this morning, so never mind, man,
just kidding.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
The only tours are passing the weekend's achievement are cold plays,
one point five billion dollar Music of Spears tours, Fears,
and Taylor Swift's two billion dollar Eras tour, which I
know she did extend, but I don't think it's been
three years.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
I got to look it up.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
By the way.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
He also is donating over eight and a half million
to the Exo Humanitarian Fund and Global Citizen, with additional
proceeds from the you know the upcoming tour dates supporting
the World Food Program. Global Citizen and fans also have
the opportunity to get a pair of free tickets to
each tour date via Global Citizen if you're interested. The
(04:00):
late Chadwick Boseman was honored with a posthumous star on
the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday, and his widow, Simone Boseman,
spoke to us. I guess about her legacy, his legacy rather,
and what the honor does for it. So, as you know,
Chadwick made history with his portrayal as T'Challa in Black Panther,
with Simone speaking on how he blazed a trail for
(04:21):
all future black superheroes. She said, he made a space
and now there can be more and more and more.
He set it up, He played the role he was
meant to play. The star, she says, is a physical
representation of all of the work that he did and
the life that he lived.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
And she said, I'm extremely proud of him.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
His brother, Derek was also on hand with his Black
Panther co stars Letitia Wright, Viola Davis, Michael b Jordan.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Derek said, just imagine having.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
A brother who's a movie star and people make songs
about him and they just love him, and he got to.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Be king, which is what our community needs.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Our community needs to see us being kings and Queen's

Yes, I learned that recently though I have to admit.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Okay, Pauline obviously great, So no one's learning anything. Stuart
Sutcliffe was his name. He was a painter and a
bassist who was an original member before the band came
into fame. Unfortunately he died due to brain hemorry. So
I guess you weren't able to, you know, really like
bask in the glory. Yeah, you know, the glory that
you know is the Beatles RP. I don't think he's
(07:07):
on any of the shirts that you have.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
No, they left my man off the shirts they did,
I have to put him on the next one.
Speaker 2 (07:12):

who your favorite member of the Beatles is, just say Stuart.
