With $5.5m per show, Guns N? Roses reunion tour tops Pollstar?s global concert income chart - and their ticket prices are higher than anyone else in top 20.

The Not In This Lifetime reunion tour has netted Guns N? Roses over $5.5m per show ? placing them at the top of Pollstar?s global concert chart.

Axl Rose and co made more than Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce, Adele and Coldplay per show ? but their average ticket price of $117 was also the highest in the top 20 list.

Trade publication Pollstar assemble their chart from information provided by promoters and venue managers, resulting in an average per-event figure for each band.

Second on the list is Springsteen, who made $5.3m per show at a ticket price of $112. He?s followed by pop stars Beyonce, Adele and Coldplay, who netted $4.9m, $4.2m and $3.9m respectively.

Lower down the top 20, Journey and the Doobie Brothers made No.19 with $655,000 per show at a ticket price of $60.74 while Def Leppard made No.20 with $617,000 at $59.13.

Meanwhile, Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy has said he expects to start work with Slash on his fourth solo band album within the next 18 months.

The project has been on hold since the guitarist returned to Guns N? Roses, following the release of World On Fire in 2014.

Kennedy tells Music Life: ?I think I knew by the fall of last year about the GN?R reunion. We actually had communication about a month ago about reconvening in the next year to 18 months. So the door is definitely open.?

For all of us who have been here on the site following the band with Bumblefoot, and all the other members, this is what we all wondered about.   Number 1??    Unreal. Beat Coldplay and Springsteen?
This is without any new material.

Just amazing.. and a dream!
