Professor Green says the music industry has been treated as 'unimportant' during the pandemic and he remains “apprehensive” about the return of live music. The rapper, real name Stephen Manderson, said those working behind the scenes in the sector, such as touring crews and sound engineers, had not received adequate support. The 37-year-old, who became a father in March, is taking part in the Virtual Big Sing 2021, a day of free live-streamed performances for pupils, broadcast from London’s famous Abbey Road Studios and hosted by celebrity vocal coach Mark De-Lisser.
