[Taste of Honey]

I don’t know about this, but I DO know that’s been almost 10 years since he’s dropped a solo album and something needs to be done about that.

He can literally just go on a stadium tour and pay back with ease

[C-Amber]

No wonder he's doing random touring concerts around the world for years, I always wondered why he is doing the exact same concert since 2016! Now it make since.

Right. But maybe his residency contract doesn't allow that cuz his contract might require him to perform exclusive for MGM?

I truly don’t think some of you get how money works  this is 50m with interest rate, and Bruno might have a 90m salary a year but seeing as he’s in debt he spends at least 140m a year, this is going to be very hard to pay off

A stadium tour would fix that tbh

He can't, this is basically how MGM is able to trap him into a residency there forever. Im sure they've probably negotiated something where to pay off his debt, he has to keep working there while raking up more debt every year, he's trapped

[Pillz]

He's gonna be 90 and arthritic performing on their tired stage

It’s approaching 8 years since his last solo studio album. Something is clearly up  something is obviously getting held up on that front bc there’s no way there isn’t any demand for a Bruno album.

It actually makes sense perfectly. He has an addictive personality

Please, this world is awful. Wanting to alter your state of mind while everything is around you is awful is the easiest temptation to human kind.

[Cbreezy]

Is this actually...legit?

 

I don't doubt that he's tied up with MGM. But it being to do with gambling debt is so wild that I don't buy it. It's not impossible, but it gives improbable. 

 

I could moreso see it being that he signed a "bad deal" [?] and it's impeding his ability to tour elsewhere and with most artists pretty much releasing music just to tour "that" may be why there's been no music. He doesn't strike as the sort that needs years and years to make an album (like an Adele).

 

Whatever the case, the upside to his absence is that he's ever in demand and it's building up demand for both his new music and tour whenever it happens.

If this is true then he will never get out of debt. The interest alone on 50 million is crazy!!

Hmmm To put that in context of the lambda person, a person earning 50K€ a year with a debt of 30K€ with a crazy interest rate will not be "fine". 

 

But anyway, I don't know how true this story is, that would just be sad. It's not just about money, this type of addiction ruins lives and bonds.
