The Weeknd breaks record with world tour that generates 1.3 billion dollars

The Weeknd's After Hours til Dawn Tour has grossed $1.3 billion, making it the highest-grossing tour for a male solo artist. The tour spanned 176 shows across 67 cities in 30 countries. He surpassed Elton John's previous record of $939 million from his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour. The Weeknd sold nine million tickets, with significant earnings from Southeast Asia. Despite his success, he is not the highest-grossing artist overall, as Taylor Swift and Coldplay have earned more. The Weeknd is donating $8.5 million to charities focused on education and poverty alleviation.
