Madonna's 'Sticky and Sweet' tour is on course to become the most successful ever by a solo artist.

The singer is in line to break the record for the biggest-selling solo tour when the jaunt finishes later this month, with an expected $282 million (£190 million) gross.

Promoter Live Nation said that the tour sold 550,000 tickets for its 28 US dates, earning $92 million (£62 million) for that leg alone.

Madonna set the previous record when she grossed $194 million (£130 million) for her 2006 'Confessions' tour.

The popstar was joined by A-Rod in the front row of the Miami leg of the jaunt, sparking further speculation that the pair may be an item.
