UK Music has invited Peter Robinson and Tamsin Embleton to speak with politicians as part of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Music. The meeting follows a petition prompted by Liam Payne’s death, which calls for the music industry to take greater responsibility for the welfare of its artists. While significant progress has been made in the 14 years since Liam rose to fame, there is still considerable work needed to prevent avoidable suffering.
Tamsin and Peter will address the stressors and challenges of being a musician, the development of mental ill health and who is most at risk, the current support available from labels, charities, and the private sector, the gaps in provision, and the steps needed to improve artist welfare.
