[edit] The HIStory Tour's Achievements

I've read from various sources that this tour holds the record for attendance, with 4.5 million fans attending 82 concerts, that's an average of 54,878 fans per concert. It beat's his previous record's for Dangerous (50,724) & Bad (35,772).

But I don't know how much this tour grossed. The Bad Tour grossed $125 million when it ended in January of 1989. All proceeds from the Dangerous were supposed to have went to charity, but there's no official gross on that one either.

[edit] Lip syncing & Trivia

I have undone the stuff about lip syncing and the trivia about the Brunei concert. Thank you to who ever wrote the passage, but it is not needed here. The lip syncing was never criticised while Michael was on tour- there is not one review I have seen that mentioned it once. If you can find me a reference to prove me wrong, by all means, please do so. The tour has been criticised by fans in recent years, and not by those who saw the show. It's unencyclopaedic and doesn't need to be mentioned here unless it was a widely reported thing, which it was not. Please do not put back in without references. Also the Earth song comments are lovely by obviously biased. Thank you. Marnifrances 05:31, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
