Available for over a year

They're one of the biggest rock bands in the world and are releasing their 25th album this week. So, in a world where artists can make billions from touring alone, should the band release new material or just go on the road?

They've earned more than $200 million across 6 tours, more than $100 million over 10, while many musicians earn less that $0.01 per stream of their songs.

Presenter: Hannah Mullane

Producers: Matt Lines and Neil Morrow
