Which Successful Artists Never became Touring forces?
Which successful artists NEVER became touring forces? Meaning they had commercial success & lots of fame but never really toured or had BIG world tours?
I think Adele comes to mind. She has seen phenomenal success, but due to her stage fright (I think), she never really toured or became a touring force.
STAWP. Adele never wanted to become a touring force. She only performs to small audiences. She could have had one of the most rental tours ever if she wanted.

Thats one possible reason. Also she doesn't like doing big places and enjoys doing smaller venues more

How about whether or not Adele will perform the album, considering her much publicised fear of performing live?
I can't get into the minutia of her touring or not. I personally wouldn't use the word fear, from conversations I've had with her, I don't think she has a fear of it. She's a mother, she has a young kid. And when I'm on tour, I've been gone for a year, I have another maybe 10 or 11 months left before I'm home home, like for more than a few weeks. So that takes a certain frame of mind to be in and the fact remains that most artists have to tour, that's the bread and butter, that's how they make a living.
When you sell 30 million albums, on one album, she can do whatever the hell she wants to do until forever. So, if she decided to tour, I'm sure it will be the most incredible tour ever and if she decides not to, it will have no bearing on how amazing the album itself is because she's one in a million, one in a hundred million, one in a billion, that's a better example. She can do what she wants to do and my whole role, as pertains to her, is to facilitate in whatever way possible. Any talent or ability I have is at her disposal for as much or as little as she wants it, for as long or as little as she needs it. I'm happy to be a part of the ride.
Didn't Christina have a couple of successful tours back in the day though?
only 2. stack her up against the real touring forces and she doesn't even come close. let's not forget the fact that bionic and lotus tour were canceled. i'm not saying she's a flop, but she's no touring force either.
