Just last week the Zac Brown Band canceled their 2020 tour and laid off 90% of their staff due to the coronavirus.
The Grammy Award winning frontman, Zac Brown, spoke to CNN in his first interview since his announcement last week. "It's just the right thing to do. You know, keeping everybody safe is priority one. It has been really hard,"
Brown said. "I absolutely adore all the people that work with us and this is the first time that I've not been able to provide for them. Not be able to provide them with employment and keep them on."
"I operate a lot differently than most people. Most people just hire the role for the time they are touring and then (they are) off. But the majority of my people are salary all year." Brown went on to say. This is really strange circumstances because normally under pressure entertainment and music always survives.
People want to feel good. "They wanna come out and see music and we wanna be able to be there as a beacon to help remind them that everything is going to be OK during hard times, but this has been crippling because people can't gather together."
