Kate Nash has said she will make money with her "bum" by putting images on OnlyFans.
The British singer warned that live music is becoming increasingly financially unsustainable and has devised a novel solution to fund her tours.
Nash, 37, has opened an account on the online subscription service OnlyFans, which has been used to monetise explicit content.
The performer, who rose to fame with her 2007 song Foundations, said that the money generated by posting images of a "bum" will fund her tours.
She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "It's very funny, I think it is also fun to do, and my industry is completely broken. I don't think it's sustainable, and I think it's a complete failure. I think it will collapse as well.
So I do think people are going to have to find solutions to fund their art. I think it's quite empowering, and I'm also creating jobs with my bum now, for example. I couldn't bring a crew member that's on tour with me in the UK to Europe, but now I can, because of my OnlyFans website."
Nash revealed that she was launching the account to help subsidise her tour, which started in Glasgow on November 21.
The singer has claimed that touring costs have risen more than 30 per cent from 2022, and she has struggled with the expenses of travel, food, accommodation and staff.
She has joined a number of celebrities boosting their income with pictures of themselves on OnlyFans including rapper Cardi B, and Kate Moss's younger sister Lottie Moss. Lily Allen charges for images of her feet on the platform.
Speaking on the Today programme, Nash said: "I don't really have time in my schedule to get another type of job, and this was an idea that I just thought of, because I've made a record this year, I'm on three tours in a row, and that's a massive financial strain."
She added: "I think the reason people are talking about me going on tours is because I'm selling pictures of my ass now. I've already been working my ass off for years, and now I'm just going to get paid really well for it, and I'm going to pay my employees really well for it too."
Nash has enjoyed one UK top-10 single and two UK top-10 albums since launching her career in 2005.
She hopes that her OnlyFans plan will highlight the financial pressures on modern musicians, saying that touring is fast becoming a "passion project".
On launching her OnlyFans account, she implored fans to "buy either a piece of my merch or my ass on my new ONLYFANS account katenyash87 to support me paying great wages & putting on a high-quality show as I will not sacrifice either of things.
