Love on Tour: Harry Styles raises R117m for charity
More than 27 charities will benefit from Harry's 'Love On Tour' concerts.
Harry Styles just wrapped up the biggest tour of his career and the 29-year-old has a lot to celebrate after nearly three years on the road.
'Love On Tour' is one of the highest-grossing tours of all time, with nearly $600-million (R10.8-billion) in ticket sales, according to Billboard.
Ticket sales for June 2023 alone amounted to $105-million (R1.9-billion) alone - beating the likes of Taylor Swift (Eras Tour) and Beyoncé (Renaissance World Tour).
Harry might be cashing in big time thanks to the success of the tour, but he is not the only one with something to smile about.
According to Variety, the 'As It Was' hitmaker's tour donated $6.5-million (R117-million) to charity. He raised funds for more than 27 charities, including Planned Parenthood, Save the Children, Every Town for Gun Safety, and Black Minds Matter UK.
