Coldplay's long-running 'Music of the Spheres Tour' has become the first rock concert tour to earn more than $1 billion.

The tour outperformed Sir Elton John's five-year farewell tour to become the most successful rock tour in music history.

According to Billboard, this is the first music tour to post a worldwide gross of more than $1 billion.

According to TalkTalk Nigeria, American artist Taylor Swift's 'Eras' tour became the first to generate more than $1 billion in revenue last year.

However, Coldplay's 'Music of the Spheres Tour' is the first to officially disclose a global revenue of more than $1 billion.

Nigerian singers Ayra Starr and Burna Boy were guests on the tour's stops in Italy and Dublin, respectively.
