@mikanewton is on her way to Ukraine, where she’ll be performing several shows (and also fundraising for the defenders and frontline medics). while she was on the plane, news came out that russians had bombed the venue, so one of her shows can no longer be held there 😢
artists and musicians like Mika are risking their lives and safety to bring moments of joy and normalcy to people during the war.
these attacks can happen during the shows as well, with everyone evacuating to shelters during an air raid alert before returning to continue the performance once the threat of missile or ballistic attacks has passed. this is the reality.
If you’re going to a concert this week, take a moment to appreciate what a huge blessing it is to be able to enjoy live music in safety 🫂🎶
