Gavin Rossdale: "How do young bands get paid? I can't work it out"
Briefly

Gavin Rossdale, frontman of Bush, expressed concerns about the difficulties young musicians face in today’s music industry. In an interview, he compared the current climate to his early career, noting that while good music used to lead to sales, now it often just results in streams. Rossdale voiced his confusion over how emerging artists can sustain themselves amidst low streaming payouts and the profits taken by record companies. He feels that it's much harder now for new talent to establish a career, which he believes is disheartening for the future of music.
I've been a musician my whole life and I'm at a loss to explain to someone how to do it, how to build from the ground up, how to get a career in that.
It's just terrifying because how do musicians, how do young bands get paid? I can't work it out.
