HUNTER HAYES’ mom took guitar lessons so he wouldn’t have to play shows alone. He said, quote, “My mom decided, ‘How about I learn to play so that when you do your acoustic gigs, I can accompany you.’ And that’s exactly what she did.”
According to TMZ, TOBY KEITH was offered $325,000 to do ONE show at Planet Hollywood in Vegas. He’d also have to do a meet & greet and mingle with the public at his “I Love This Bar & Grill” in Harrah’s. Toby’s rep said he turned them down.
TMZ suggests he said no because it’s a lowball offer compared to others. BRITNEY SPEARS makes $475,000 a show at that venue, and JENNIFER LOPEZ is signing for $350,000 a night. Plus, there’s the $500,000 a show that KANYE WEST turned down.
