The coronavirus pandemic has temporarily shut down some businesses with the music and entertainment industry taking a major hit. To mitigate the spread and transmission of the virus, shows, concerts and other entertainment-related events have been cancelled.
People have also – through government and health directives – been advised and ordered to remain indoors as another preventive measure.
As a way to still connect with fans and entertain them while the whole world is virtually on a lockdown, soul singer, Erykah Badu, announced she will be having a ‘Quarantine Concert Series’ live from her bedroom where fans will see her perform some of their favorite songs for just $1.
