Madonna's current Sticky and Sweet tour is set to become the biggest selling tour by a solo artist. The 50-year-old will have raked in an estimated $282m (£185.7m) when the tour finishes in Sao Paulo, Brazil, later this month. Tour producer Live Nation said the star's 28-date US leg sold 550,000 tickets and grossed $91.5m (£60.2m). Madonna had held the previous record with her Confessions tour in 2006, having taken $193.7m (£127.5m).
Including her European run, the singer has already made an estimated $207.5m (£136.6m) in ticket sales. Madonna finished the North American leg of her Sticky and Sweet tour last week in front of 50,000 people at Dolphin Stadium in Miami, before heading south to Mexico City. The tour, supporting her album Hard Candy, will conclude with three nights from 18-21 December in Sao Paulo. The singer divorced director Guy Ritchie last month after eight years of marriage.

Madonna, Guy Ritchie get quickie divorce
Pop star Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie have been granted a divorce at the High Court in London. The decree nisi was granted less than a month after the couple, who have three children, declared their eight-year marriage was over.
The couple wed at Skibo Castle in Scotland in December 2000, and announced their separation last month after months of speculation. Neither Madonna, 50, nor her film-maker husband, 40, were in court on Friday. The case was listed before District Judge Reid alongside 16 others "for pronouncement of decree or order under the special procedure rule".
It has been reported that the couple did not demand a financial settlement from each other. Madonna is thought to be worth some £300m, while Ritchie is believed to have £30m in assets. The couple are also reported to have agreed to share custody of their two boys, Rocco, eight, and three-year-old adopted David Banda, while Madonna's daughter from an earlier relationship, 12-year-old Lourdes, will stay with her. Madonna is currently in the US playing dates on her Sticky & Sweet tour.
