Just not true.

For the vast majority of bands the record company makes no money out of gigs. Often if a band is small then record companies will help fund the first couple of tours and at this point the label will have a significant degree of influence but once the band have paid this money back (which is definitely the case with the manics) then the band are the only ones making money out of tours then it really is all in the bands control. They will usually co-ordinate with the label out of a courtesy and a shared interest. Album promotion sells tours and tours help to sell albums.
