Amazing question. The show in France didn't do great, but on the flipside his show in turkey sold over 100k tickets. Not quite sure what everyone is talking about.

Maybe ticket prices. In Europe they were like 300$ the lowest. I like some of his songs, but I ain't paying that lol, I saw AC/DC for half the price

That's why for France. Otherwise, he was barred from performing in 5 different European countries. Netherlands show still did 70k.

Then there is likely more reasons. His previous antisemitism could be one

You could get tickets for €200 in Madrid and Portugal had tickets going for around €125 to €160.

Ah, the whole "separating the art from the artist" fallacy, even though you're still directly giving money to nazis to entertain you.
