Armaan Malik questions mismanagement of concerts after KK’s death, calls for ‘right conditions to perform’

Internet is saddened by the news of singer KK's demise. Several celebrities and fans took to social media to offer their condolences to the late legendary singer. Meanwhile, expressing grief, singer-musician Armaan Malik has called 2022 a' black year' for the Indian music industry, referring to the loss of Lata Mangeshkar, Bappi Lahiri, Sidhu Moose Wala and now KK, in this year.

Taking to his Twitter account, Armaan raised questions regarding mismanagement in music concerts.

"Concerts in India need better mgmt, medical & emergency facilities. I’ve seen and been part of far too many shows that don’t serve the right conditions for us to perform in. But yet, being the artists we are, we continue with performing coz we don’t wanna disappoint our fans," Armaan wrote.

A Twitter user replied to Armaan and questioned why don't the artists ask for better facilities in the contracts they sign. "Armaan Malik, you guys give money to talent agencies as they make business out of you, why cant you put a condition in contract about having an Ambulance, a good Dr and other basic facilities always with you , it's a must , we can't keep losing singers like this."

In response to the user’s comment, Armaan, said: "FYI many artists don’t even have show contracts w promoters & if they are at a level where they do & they were properly followed we wouldn’t have to see a day like this. When artists stick to their contracts and don’t budge, promoters say ‘attitude bahut hai, maangein toh dekho’ (promoters say, ‘You have a lot of attitude, look at the demands)."

"And henceforth that artist is not booked and then his live business suffers (which is the main income for any artist in this country) coz we don’t make money singing songs. Guess you didn’t know that either. We would all want these facilities for our shows, do we get them? NO," he added.

Soon after Armaan posted the tweets, people supported the singer and expressed their views regarding the matter.
