This topped Michael's Bad tour in terms of capital, grossing over 178 million.Most impressive is the fact that Michael never toured the continental U.S., despite two shows at the Aloha Bowl in Hawaii. He was the first artist in history to sell out the 35,000-capacity stadium. This tour is the biggest world tour ever in terms of the number of people that attended.[citation needed] |
