The spread of COVID-19 has decimated the world of entertainment—from sporting events to Disney World to conferences—and it’s only getting worse. Touring, the lifeblood of many musicians worldwide, has slowed to a near standstill, with no indication on when it could safely pick back up. And once things do get going, artists and bookers will face greater competition for space, with more tours overlapping in a shorter period.
Music is a tough business with ultra-slim margins, and virtually everyone who works within the industry does so as a labor of love. So once a wrench is thrown into the status quo, the result is pure chaos. You may be wondering how you can help your favorite artists and venues, which are experiencing major losses during this tumultuous time.. The good news is that there are ways, small as they may be. Artists generally have a few different sources of income, the main ones typically being touring (first and foremost), album sales, licensing/syncs, and merchandise. All come with their pitfalls, but album sales and merchandise will be crucial for artists as touring is taken off the table.
Despite what Almost Famous or whatever music videos you’ve seen will tell you, touring is pretty terrible most of the time. Not to mention it can be a giant roll of the dice, depending on the location of that show(s), competition from other events in the area, and a million other unseen factors.
“From the top to the bottom, everyone involved in live music is taking a collective and individual risk,” emphasizes Dominick Fernow, founder of Hospital Productions and a touring musician as Prurient/Vatican Shadow. “There are a lot of hidden costs and mouths to feed in the supply chain just to do one show.”

If you have struggled with suicide yourself or have lost a loved one, please help by raising money for this cause.
Because suicide is considered an unnatural death, the authorities are required to investigate. Suicide is not against the law, but given that there are cases where a homicide has been made to look like a suicide, the authorities will want to make certain that the suicide has not been staged to cover up foul play.
At the scene of the suicide the police may limit your access to the body—and to your home, if that’s where the suicide took place—until their initial investigation is complete. They may also take some of your loved one’s personal belongings, including any notes or messages that they may have left. If the police take personal possessions, be sure to ask for an inventory so you can keep track of what should be returned to you. You have the right to get all of these possessions back once the investigation is complete.
As part of the investigation, the police will want to question you. You should cooperate with them, but you have every right to ask them to conduct their investigation quickly and sensitively.
Remember that neither you nor your loved one has committed a crime.
Can I/do I have to view the body? Will there to be an autopsy?
If you are the immediate next of kin but not the person who discovered and identified the body at the scene of the suicide, you will be asked to identify the body either in person or through photographs. You may choose not to identify the body yourself and ask someone else to do so.
