According to Ken West, an organiser of New Zealand’s “The Big Day Out” festival, Eminem declined to headline the event, and turned down a whopping $6 million!
According to West, Eminem was getting paid by Australia’s Dainty Group to perform three nights for $15 million in Sydney and Melbourne. He told the New Zealand Herald “For Eminem walking out with $15 million off three shows, means that it was la-la-land to ever think he could do the Big Day Out, even though we offered $6 million!”
In similar news, the Sydney Football Stadium shows fans are demanding a refund after complaining of unacceptable sound quality throughout the show. Hundreds of frustrated fans complained to Dainty Group’s Facebook page, seeking an apology and some looking for a full refund.
If you were Eminem, would you decline $6 million?
