That's because he makes all of his music money from touring. Almost all music acts can't do that because they don't have the exposure - pirating or not.

That's not as true as it was.

10 years ago touring was purely a means to promote record sales and there were maybe a dozen acts who made money doing it (Madonna, the Rolling Stones and the like). Now it's flipping and touring is profitable for a lot more acts than it used to be.
