While the world continues to adjust to the current coronavirus climate, artists are grappling with the same issues as the rest of us. With the country’s concert situation on lockdown, fans and bands alike are trying to make the most of what can feel like pretty dire circumstances.
RELATED: Everyone’s Tours Are Cancelled—Buy Their Music Instead
Here’s the public face and inner thoughts being offered up by some of the music world’s finest. A couple were even able to find some humor amidst the chaos.
my heart goes out to everyone who will be struggling in the upcoming months due to cancellations, as well as higher risk folks, feeling really grateful for all healthcare workers today ~ also just wanted to say it’s okay to feel anxious, scared or angry about coronavirus 💜💙💚

Being Worried and Aware are two different things. Ya gotta stay aware, just so you know what’s happening.. If they shut shit down. Things we take for granted will change fast. Just stay on point.

thinking about all we lost so quickly in this pandemic: the freedom, the closeness. Wondering how long it's going to be before we get it back..? I Have The Touch- Peter Gabriel https://t.co/YC7ggKzjVf via @YouTube

It is important to us that the audience feels comfortable and safe and can truly enjoy this special tour. A Dashboard show should always feel like a safe place. I miss you already and can’t wait to see you again. Take care of each other.
Your friend,

Look up some smaller bands who have had to cancel in your town and figure out how to just send them a little help directly. We had a couple things cancel but we will be ok for a little while – thank you for your concern. Find someone who is really in need. Tele’, Ibanez delay.🙌 https://t.co/54BGxyQ21g

Try to eat only once a day. Take no food for granted. Don’t snack if you’re not truly hungry. https://t.co/VOVenFOPKo

honestly it’s a very tough day to be celebrating anything, but it’s in the most difficult times that we have to encourage & lift one another up. your response to this record has done that, we can only hope we’ve been able to give some of that back to you. love you all & thank u
