Life ‘on the road’

Life isn’t always so amazing when you’re famous! Rock and pop bands usually travel for a lot
of the year. They go to different countries and don’t see their families for a long time. A lot of
famous singers agree that life ‘on the road’ isn’t very exciting. There is a strict routine and it is
often difficult.
Danny is a drummer for a UK band and he says that he is always tired. ‘Every day is the
same. I often don’t know what city I’m in!’ The band usually travel during the night and arrive
at a hotel in the morning. Sometimes they are travelling for up to ten hours. They can’t move,
or get out or do anything. They sleep during the day, then they get dressed and have dinner.
After that, they go to ‘work’! The concert normally starts at 9 p.m. They often play until
midnight. Then they leave the city to travel to the next city. They eat and sleep on the band’s
bus.
‘We have to play a lot of concerts, because people don’t buy CDs now. People download
music, but artists don’t get a lot of money from that. I enjoy the music, but I’m sad when I don’t
see my family. I hardly ever go to watch my children’s school plays. I can’t always watch them
at their sports days.’ But when Danny is at home, he can help them with their geography
homework!
