It is tough to compare the two. There are still million and millions of people who pay for music. Sure, there is rampant piracy, but there are also a lot of sales.
There are also major, hugely popular acts, who have canceled tours because of lack of interest in ticket sales. Now some of this could be that they simply charge too much and want to play too big of venues, but a lot of it has to do with the economy and large number of choices when it comes to how many acts are on tour.
Music also make a lot of money from publishing. If someone wants to use your music in their TV show or movie or commercial or whatever, they have to pay you. Some acts make millions per year licensing their music. The same can't be said for porn.
