Our daily lives have changed vastly as we cannot enjoy the normal things we used to. That includes the concerts that we were able to freely attend without the worry of risking our lives to a virus. Now the concerts that we have known have changed to the virtual ones where fans are able to see their artists perform only through a screen.

It's quite sad. And online concerts aren't the same. Live concerts are about fans seeing their idols in person, and the idols getting to interact with fans and their energy. The whole vibe is a different level. But we must protect everyone now. Maybe next year lives can happen again.
