Music Star Cherie Oakley: “To all artists who make significant amount of money: You should retain your bands; You have the ability to make your band and their family’s feel valued …. You should”

To ALL artists who make significant amount of money: You should retain your bands. I have seen so many artists who go on long breaks while they continue to make millions of dollars from endorsements, recordings, royalties and so on, you have the ability to make your band and their family’s feel valued …. You should. They don’t have the luxury of bringing their families out on the road any time they want, they work hard and make little and sacrifice a lot. Health insurance isn’t provided for from artists or labels and is insanely expensive for musicians, show your band they are more than players, they are people who you value and retain them for goodness sake.
