Interesting topic Slope - and some very informative replies.
To be honest I’ve never even given any thoughts to record sales or revenue for any artist/band, and I suppose rather naively I always assumed that Japan, whilst perhaps not amassing a fortune, had done ok for themselves back in the day (being a teenager at the time I suspect I was probably more interested in drooling over David!!). I’ve learnt since that sadly wasn’t the case.
What really shocked and saddened me was reading how financially dire things were for Mick and this did make me wonder just how financially secure David and Steve really are and how they manage to support their families.
I imagine David has probably faired better than Steve when it comes to sales and tours
which is a huge shame because Steve is seriously underrated as a musician, composer, producer etc.
