Petra,
In America, some of the most successful venues are Indian casinos. All of the artists you are thinking of are playing there and making more money on some weekends that they made in a year when they were at the height of their careers. They even are able to cut back to playing about half the time so the other time they can play golf and go to resorts.
Willie played last week in New Orleans at the Jazz Festival. Willie and Jazz. Interesting idea.
Dolly Parton makes about $300 million a year in her theme park, Dollywood, and probably another $50 million from her new Broadway Musical "Nine to Five."
Most of these stars actually invest pretty well. There are not a lot of homeless legends out there. A few but mostly they do okay.
Two years ago one of the biggest tours were Willie Nelson, Ray Price and Asleep at the Wheel. That grossed around $145 million for the six month tour.
But it is quite different starting 20-30 years ago and starting now as an older artist. The life of an artist is very grueling, a LOT of traveling, a LOT of hours beyond just performing, writing, recording. The life of an artist is the Road. So there would never be just one show. That is what most older people are not willing to do.
