The charity surveyed more than 1,300 musicians in the UK, and found that 96% have lost “the majority” of their income, while 55% aren’t earning anything at all from music at the moment. Only 19% expect their income to return to normal by April 2021, while 89% are worried about the next year of their career, and 76% are worried about whether they can even stay in the music industry longer-term.
