Noughties pop star Kate Nash has taken an unconventional route to raise funds for her tour, as she is the latest celebrity to join OnlyFans.
Kate, 37, has openly stated that ‘touring is a loss, not a profit,’ leading to the sale of her butt photos on an adult subscription site.
The Foundations hitmaker has always spoken up for his community of musicians, including one of the many bands and artists who are facing difficulties to sustain their careers today.
Deciding enough was enough and taking matters into his own hands, the songwriter has now launched the OnlyFans campaign, Butts For Tour Buses.
He said: “While traveling is the best project, now technically it can be called a passion project for many artists in 2024.
A new survey by Pirate Studios found that while show and festival ticket prices soar and we see a select few in the industry become millionaires or even billionaires from touring, the majority of musicians and artists struggle to make ends meet. play shows.
‘The cost of travel, accommodation, food, promotion, and employees have also risen in price, but musicians have not seen any changes in gig fees to pay for all these rising costs.’
About what she does, Kate explains: “So this Christmas, I’m asking you to buy my merchandise or my merchandise on my new OnlyFans account, katenyash87, to support me paying a good salary and paying high quality shows because I won’t sacrifice anything .’
The singer joked that ‘there’s no need to stream (her) music because she’s good for 0.003 cents per stream’.
Kate kicks off her UK and EU tour tonight at Glasgow’s Oran Mor and plays KOKO shows on December 28th as well as Brighton, Dublin and more.
They vow to give fans an ‘unforgettable and immersive celebration of music and community magic’ at the live show, which follows Kate’s new album, 9 Sad Symphonies.
The star has spoken openly about his financial struggles in the past and expressed concern that the music industry is closing working-class artists into a ‘rich man’s space’.
Skeleton Song musician Kate, who also appeared topless in the Netflix series Glow, previously admitted she ‘trusted the wrong people’ with her finances.
He told The Guardian about his post-Foundation fame and success: ‘I trusted the wrong people with my money, which meant I had to sell my flat and move back in with my parents.
‘I’ve worked hard and have nothing to show for it. The worst part is that I know I will never give up.
‘I thought for a moment that I should be a teacher, but then I realized, “How do you do that? You don’t even have a degree because you didn’t go to any university.
‘Having this career is about fighting your way.’
She’s far from the only celebrity to join OnlyFans in recent years, as it’s now full of celebrities and TV personalities, from Kerry Katona and Katie Price to Lily Allen.
Kerry has racked up millions on the site with her saucy snaps, while Lily sells foot pics in a lucrative side hustle.
Meanwhile, Cardi B, Bella Thorne, Blac Chyna, Iggy Azalea, Carmen Electra, Lottie Moss, and Tana Mongeau all sell explicit content.
For male celebrities, Tyga also gives his fans exclusive access through OnlyFans by charging for behind-the-scenes photos and previews of unreleased material.
