Kenny Chesney Cuts Back, Still Succeeds

Kenny Chesney may have cut back on his Poets and Pirates tour, but that didn't stop fans from flocking to the shows.For the seventh conescutive year, Chesney played for more than 1 million fans during his tour, reaching the 1.2 million mark. This comes despite the fact that he played the fewest number of shows in six years.His 14-show tour at stadiums in San Francisco, Pittsburgh and Detroit, among others, still managed to sell out, thanks in part to a large college fan base and a number of special guests."It's always been the fans who make this happen," Chesney said. "They come out. They're as much a part of this as we are."
