LIVE MUSIC TAKES A HIT: It’s unfortunate that we might not be able to feel the thrill of regular outdoor events anytime soon due to the pandemic. But for those who work in the live music industry, COVID-19 has been a devastating blow. Indian singer Armaan Malik says concerts used to fuel his business. “The live business has taken a massive hit. Artists, organisers, promoters, musicians, technicians — so many of them don’t know when they will be able to do an event or earn anything,” Malik said. However, safety comes first for the popular artist. “I wouldn’t do a show until we know COVID-19 is on its way out,” he added.[COMMENT BY: Jennifer Barretto, Assistant Editor - Features]
