An investigation by the charity Help Musicians, has revealed that 87% of those surveyed answered that their mental health deteriorated during the year 2020.
This survey reached more than 700 musicians across Britain, with 59% of them saying that their concerns about the impact of Brexit on the music industry compounded the whole problem.
The executive director of Help Musicians, James AinscoughHe said of the study findings that “we can’t sugarcoat anything; we are facing a mental health crisis among musicians on an unprecedented scale »
There remains uncertainty about how quickly the music industry will be able to recover from the pandemic, in addition to the catastrophic impact of the agreement on the Brexi to tour.
