Musicians share their experiences dealing with the impact of coronavirus: "I don't know when we'll get to play again"
For the members of Los Angeles-based rock band, Wallows, right now nothing is certain. The band, which released its latest single, OK, on Friday, had planned for mid-March to be a joyous occasion, one in which the members could connect with fans, enjoy the creative synergy that comes with a new release and bask in the glow of a job well done.
But for Wallows, and thousands of bands like it around the world, spring of 2020 - otherwise known as the era of the dangerous Coronavirus - is as uncertain a time as the group has ever experienced.
To date, hundreds of people around the world have died from the Coronavirus, with more expected. Thousands are sick and filling up emergency hospital beds. Cities around the globe are on lockdown. To help offset the disruption in normal life, musicians in many areas have offered a reprieve with digital concerts and song releases.
