Where are these musicians now?

Nice video. Thanks for that.

It’s usually because of money and stability. Very few artists consistently make enough money to live on, touring life really sucks unless you’re like a god tier arena artist, and it’s impossible to raise a family playing 180 shows a year. It’s a true grind with crazy boom bust cycles, and it’s not something sustainable long term for the overwhelming majority of people, even professional musicians.

I met Elvis Costello's bass player - or drummer, I really don't remember which - at a bistro in Paris. I asked him what that's like financially, could he make a living, etc. He just said, "It's month to month, man. Just tryin' to pay the rent." I've played in local bands for years and know I would never be cut out for that life. It's a calling (or obsession, don't know which).
