With concerts and festivals being postponed and cancelled left and right in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, there's still one very conspicuous that has yet to be postponed: the massive stadium tour featuring Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison, and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
"I would not feel comfortable doing that, I just wouldn't," Jett said during a recent interview with SiriusXM. "I wouldn't feel comfortable putting the band or my crew in that position. I don't really have that right to mess with their lives like that."
"I'm not saying it's an easy decision," the rocker added. "I know people are struggling all over the country with what to do and how to do it. Of course, I wanna play. As soon as we can do it, let's figure out a way to do it. I've heard there's some ideas with drive-ins, like a drive-in movie, where you can still see live music and you're in your car. That's a step, and that's a step I'd enjoy taking. But it's still not people together. And that's gonna take a while."
Jett's statements followed a recent statement from all of the acts on the Stadium Tour stating that they were in the process of "weighing all options" before making an ultimate decision on the fate--and dates--of the tour.
