Music industry faces mental health ‘crisis’ as COVID-19 takes toll on vulnerable workers

Last year, Victorian production manager Jenny Moon attended the funerals of half a dozen people from the music industry who took their own lives or died because of mental health-related issues.

Ms Moon, who has worked in the business for three decades, said she had never seen mental illness cause such devastation.

“I think I’ve only been to three funerals in all those years until COVID,” she said.
