Taste of Country has been asking country stars how they've been coping since the pandemic ground touring to a halt. Some are cautiously waiting it out while others are busting at the seams to get back out there.
Here are a few responses:
Trace Adkins: "I'd like to get back to work, doing what I love to do, working with my guys. I'm not stir crazy, I'm staying busy doing things, but I'd like to get back to work."
Craig Morgan: "I'm nervous for people in our business. I think there's gonna be a lot of people, a lot of artists, a lot of musicians, publishers, even labels to some degree, that won't survive this."
Chase Rice: "In six months, they gotta let us go play. You gotta keep people safe . . . [but] they gotta let us go play and the people that are healthy can decide if they want to come or not. That's what the American constitution is about is us having the choice."
Clay Walker: "Since I have multiple sclerosis, my risk of mortality with this is double what a normal person's is. So it's definitely got my attention. Especially after Joe Diffie dying and seeing John Prine [pass away.] I really regret the fact that we're seeing people politicize this. It's the last thing that we need."
