American rock band Bon Jovi has become the highest-earning touring act of the year 2013 crossing even Beyonce and Bieber's tour records.
US based Pollstar data has placed the 'The Livin' On A Prayer' hitmakers first on the list of year's highest-grossing tour, banking almost USD 259.5 million from the tours worldwide.
The Five member band has been trekking across the globe since February with guitarist Richie Sambora quitting the gigs in April to spend more time with his daughter, reported Contactmusic.
The band even pushed Beyonce's The Mrs Carter Show World Tour, which kicked off in April, at the second spot. Beyonce's tour earned USD 188.6 million.
Singer Pink claimed third place with USD 170.6 million for her The Truth About Love tour.
Popstars Justin Bieber and Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band rounded out the top five, while Rihanna, Taylor Swift and One Direction were also placed high on the list.
