Madonna: The Most Successful Solo Touring Artist in History
'STICKY & SWEET' TOUR BECOMES MOST SUCCESSFUL TOUR BY A SOLO ARTIST IN HISTORY
Madonna's "Sticky & Sweet" Tour made history as it wrapped up last night with two final shows in Tel Aviv, Israel at Yehoshua Gardens (HaYarkon Park, September 1 and 2).
The Material Girl more than lives up to her name, as her tour becomes the most successful tour ever by a solo artist. After playing 85 shows since its launch in August 2008, Madonna's "Sticky & Sweet" has drawn more than 3.5 million fans in 32 countries and has grossed US$408 million, it was announced today by Live Nation, the tour's global producer. "Sticky & Sweet" is also the second highest grossing tour of all time.
Madonna set an attendance record for the biggest crowds in history in Zurich, Switzerland, where she drew the largest audience ever assembled for a show.

Her Gothenburg, Sweden show, seen by 119,000 fans, broke the record for highest grossing multiple shows in the country's history. In Helsinki, Finland, "Sticky & Sweet" sold more than 85,000 tickets, making it the biggest single show by an artist in history for all of Scandinavia. Other highlights on the tour included stops in Buenos Aires, Argentina (256,000), Santiago, Chile (146,000), Sao Paulo, Brazil (203,000), Tallinn, Estonia (72,000), Warsaw, Poland (79,000), Bucharest, Romania (69,000), and Sofia, Bulgaria (54,000).
"With 'Sticky & Sweet' Madonna has proven yet again that there is virtually no limit to what she can accomplish both creatively and commercially," said Arthur Fogel, Live Nation's Chairman of Global Music and CEO of Global Touring.
"Sticky & Sweet" broke Madonna's previous record of most successful tour by a solo artist with her 2006 Confessions Tour, which grossed $194 million.
Madonna's upcoming CD, "CELEBRATION" - the definitive Madonna collection - is scheduled to be released at the end of September.

Sandy Sachs PHONY ARREST set up by Chris Paciello
Sachs' lawyer, Gerson Horn, says Paciello set her up after she sued him for allegedly failing to make good on a promised $600,000 investment. Horn tells us that, on April 16, cops received a call from off-duty deputy Sheriff Ralph Garay, who claimed Sachs was drunk at the restaurant and about to drive home. According to Horn, Paciello can be heard on a dispatch tape coaching Garay to tell on-duty cops Sachs should be arrested.
Horn says a deputy who came to the restaurant "saw no evidence that Sandy was drunk." But, after Paciello's girlfriend, Erin Naas, also allegedly told police Sachs was drunk, Sachs was confronted at her home by several officers. Horn says they "threw her to the ground, handcuffed and pummeled her. Her body was covered with bruises."
A forced blood test determined Sachs' alcohol level was within legal limits. The L.A. district attorney's office has declined to file charges against her. Horn says Sachs' suit will accuse police of wrongful arrest, battery and civil rights violations.
Sheriff's spokesman Mike Parker says, "We found no wrongdoing by our employees. It was a legal arrest." Paciello's lawyer, Keith Fink, says, "A friend of Chris' did the responsible thing by calling in someone who appeared drunk."
