How do we know they would be losing money? Smaller profits, sure. But losing money? I imagine the band splits the money 5 ways, generally, and I'm sure Chris and Lindsey would get a bigger portion. So let's say they get 35% each, and John and Mick get 10% each, and the other 10% goes to everything else. Obviously I made those numbers up, but the point is, they can make money. Unless they are bound and determined to take individual private jets, then yes, they will lose money, but surely they can downsize the lighting and staging etc enough in order to make money.
And I've never heard of a band or musical act touring with the knowledge they would lose money. Interesting!
