Right now it isn't, he's got plenty. But he's been financing all these shows himself, he'll be lucky to break even. That well will eventually run dry. There's only so many times he'll be willing to ship an entire band + gear + staff over to Australia or Europe. Eventually, he'll realize that the 500 people he's playing for every few months aren't that rewarding anymore.
And considering the tours; I don't think anyone in the band will be doing a big year long tour again. No bands do nowadays, apart from Bon Jovi. Most bands play a month or 2 here, then have a month (or 2 off) and do another leg there. I still think that the only reason Jon's not doing it is just so he can reach the top of the Billboard Touring chart thing. Would he spread one album tour out over 2 years, there's no way he'd be on top as other, younger acts either do more shows or just make more money than him.
