Seeing legendary bands force singers onto the stage through "contractual obligations" even when they’re physically struggling is honestly heartbreaking to watch. Touring isn't what it used to be, especially when you're hitting your late fifties and dealing with harsh winter climates that wreck your voice and body. If a lead singer says they need to step back or want input on a schedule because the cold weather is becoming physically unbearable, the management and fellow bandmates should actually listen, not just hide behind legal threats or representative advice. Music should be about the passion and the fans, but you can't give the fans a great show if you're miserable and feeling like a prisoner. Let artists have a real say in their own lives instead of always prioritizing the corporate machine. #music #ethics #culture https://thoxt.com/l/14D3wi 🔗
