Hello! This is a young article, just started in passing by curious biographers, about a notably important person who didn't have a wikipedia page. It's akin to a big stub, a major work in progress with lots of potential, so please add to it rather than tearing it down! All of the statements of the early draft are meant to have representative meaning of the immediate potential of the article, to be expanded upon based on the given major citation sources or by someone who simply knows things about this side of the industry, but I just don't personally know much yet. This guy must have a lot of material that can be learned from his new biography movie which is about to come out, and from learning about the news of other tours which he may have had something to do with or which had some impact on him. Unfortunately the main info I could find in the direction of his relationship with specific tours so far, was the negative ones of Diana Ross and Guns n Roses.

history of his career, looking into his past employers
a description of what in the world he and his team do, and how they innovate
something akin to a discography of his specific tours, with any notable features that his team innovates
who he works with
a collection of quotes about him, because he lives in a hyperbolic superpowered world. And there just seems to be a profundity of reliably sourced, wonderful quotes about him.
criticisms: at least a mention of the amount of influence and control over the world held by his organization, possibly leading to a fuller section in Live Nation. There must be some way to counterbalance the meteoric success with some kind of criticism or alternative reflections in any subject.

This is an utterly bombastic subject in an over-the-top bigger-than-life industry. This is the unseen puppeteer behind the world's biggest fantasy stages. That's what people like this do, and it's hard to exaggerate about them. The facts *are* big. It's a challenge to smooth it out into encyclopedic language, but consider it a marble sculpture to chip away at, as a work in progress. This is the exemplar of the phrase "be bold", not just in how we edit it but in what we edit into it. Good luck! Smuckola (talk) 20:23, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
