I was talking about the US. The Leppard Motley tour was a huge success there. Jon will have noticed that.
I really don't think they have the power to sell out a big arena tour (in the US) or a big stadium tour (in the rest of the world) on their own at the moment. Their last album did nothing and news is out there - everyone knows that Jon's voice is shot following the last tour. And even in the last UK stadium there were half price tickets and 241 offers.
Jon knows that and he will be looking at options. I think marketing it as the big 40th anniversary tour is probably the way he will go. A residency would definitely make sense too. But I wouldn't rule out a joint headliner. If Jon wants to keep playing in the big venues then he will have to make some compromises somewhere along the line.
