Rod is at number 1 in the Billboard weekly Hot Tours list with more than $4 million in reported grosses from his third multiple-show run this year at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
His November run at the 4,000-seat concert venue drew 33,213 fans at nine performances from Nov. 6 through 24. He also did nine Vegas shows during the first two months of 2013 and seven more in July and August. Altogether this year, he performed 25 nights at the Colosseum with ticket sales totaling $11.6 million. Since his first run of shows at the Caesars Palace venue three years ago, he has played a total of 68 concerts with box office grosses topping $34 million.
Rod’s tour in 2013 consisted of mainly European dates from June through early October, but his Live the Life tour also included a string of North American arena dates during the fall that were originally scheduled for April, but postponed until October and December. His tour will end for the year this weekend with a final show on Dec. 15 in Toronto.
