Getty<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n There has been a slew of concert cancellations and postponements in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, and insurance companies are slamming the door on performers who dare to ask the insurers to cover their losses.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Several prominent managers of famous artists tell TMZ, it\u2019s virtually impossible now to put on a concert \u2026 even before President Trump<\/strong> urged crowds not to exceed 10 people. So there have been a bunch of concert dates where the plug has been pulled, and we\u2019re told virtually every insurance company has made it clear \u2026 they feel they have no obligation to pay up.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n We\u2019re told after SARS and MRSA some of the companies excluded pandemics from coverage. And, there are others that don\u2019t have the exclusionary language but the insurance companies still claim there\u2019s an exclusion for the latest virus.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n It\u2019s created all sorts of economic problems. Artists spend a lot of money before the first stop on a concert tour \u2026 building stages, creating video packages and hiring staff. We\u2019re told a number of artists and their reps are currently fighting the insurance companies to cover the losses.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n The other thing we\u2019re hearing \u2026 a lot of artists are not canceling the dates \u2026 rather they\u2019re postponing them because they feel it\u2019s the best they can do \u2014 better to get the money belatedly than not get it at all.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
