Very OT:Anyone looking for a band to play at your function?

Good news if you're looking for a wedding band for your upcoming nuptials; the Rolling Stones are open for engagements -- providing you have an extra $9 million. Examiner.com reported that British TV show Four Weddings posted a survey of A-listers who'll play your party for the right price. The report stated that, providing they're already on tour, Mick, Keith, and the boys are ready and willing to play your private party. Back in 2002 the Stones played their first private party, performing an abbreviated 90-minute set.

Although her shows are infrequent, Madonna is reportedly the highest priced star playing private parties. In 2008 she reportedly scored $12 million for two private gigs in Dubai -- $7.5 million for a full production concert and another $5 million to perform at a private party.

Elton John will also perform at private shows, with his going rate a slightly better bargain that will only set you back a cool $3 to $4 million.

The breakdown for high-profile private performances is:
1. The Rolling Stones (up to $9 million)
2. Elton John (up to $3.6 million)
3. Kylie Minogue (up to $3 million)
4. Christina Aguilera (up to $2.2 million)
5. George Michael ($2 million)
6. Amy Winehouse ($1.8 million)
7. Paul McCartney ($1.8 million)
8. Leona Lewis ($1.8 million)
9. Jennifer Lopez ($1.8 million)
10. Barry Manilow ($1.7 million)
11. Rod Stewart ($1.3 million)
12. Duran Duran ($800,000)


Holy Moly Paul McCartney for only $1.8 mil now that's a bargain, compared to Amy, Leona & Jenny from the block.
A mind full of useless information.
