Will they do it for the sake of their fans and the music? Nope, the new model is how much money they can collect at concerts from aging fans who now have money, but a dearth of good music to listen too. I went to see the Police in Boston a couple of weeks ago, I felt like one of the younger people there. And I am no spring chicken.
Okay, admittedly not a big fan of much of the newer music today. Perhaps I haven't given it a chance.
