00:00For more than 40 years, our next honoree has been the force behind some of the world's biggest and most consequential tours.
00:08Stars including U2, Madonna, and David Bowie have turned to the Live Nation Chairman of Global Music and President of Global Touring
00:17for help conceiving and executing their ambitious global touring visions.
00:22This year, he promoted tours by Coldplay, who just performed a record 10 shows at Wembley Stadium,
00:31and Lady Gaga, who returned to touring for her high concept Mayhem Ball,
00:38while driving Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour at stadiums across North America and Europe,
00:44not to mention the Oasis reunion tour.
00:47For his work overseeing these megastars and more, we are thrilled to recognize the one and only Arthur Fogel
00:55as our Touring Executive of the Year.
01:07Thanks, Hannah, and thank you, Billboard, for this recognition.
01:11It certainly has been a tremendous year for the live business and for me personally,
01:18although maybe a bit too many miles along the way, but nonetheless, you know,
01:24I've always looked at live performance as its own art form,
01:28and I have the privilege to work with some of the greatest performers that our business knows and has known.
01:35And, you know, I think that the global explosion, if you will, of our business
01:43is particularly gratifying as I've tried to spend most of my career
01:49focusing on the growth of the live business around the world.
01:55So thanks to my team who are, you know, always there to have my back.
02:00Thanks to my wife, Kayleen, for always being there to have my back and front.
02:05And special thanks to Michael Rapinoe for his support and collaboration for the last 20 years.
02:12So thank you all. Appreciate it.
