    I heard before that the band went bankrupt and that why they need to keep touring. Has anyone else heard this or am I imagining things??

    it's not a hard thing to imagine...
    Average industrial wage = 35k approx
    i'm not a fan so i'll say there are 4 members ...they would need 140k a year to live an average life...
    Record sales = (probably minus figures cash wise)

    Their hayday was a good few years ago, so any cash reserves from then would probably be gone now or invested in property..

    Oh right, I thought you might have meant creatively bankrupt to which the answer would have been a resounding 'YES'.

    Best case scenario they made enough to buy houses outright. No mortgage wouldn't be a bad thing...
