The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney are among more than 1,500 musicians who have signed a letter to the British government, asking for it to help save the live music industry amid the coronavirus pandemic.

, which also included signatures from Ed Sheeran, Lionel Richie, Dua Lipa and pop group Little Mix, said that while the U.K. government had addressed the restarting of "two important British pastimes — football and pubs," it was now "crucial that it focuses on a third, live music."

Addressed to Britain's Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden, it highlights the economic impact live music has made, having contributed £4.5 billion to the British economy and supporting 210,000 jobs in 2019. The letter said the live music industry had been "proud to play our part in the national effort to reduce the spread of coronavirus."

In addition to musicians, 688 venues, 147 cover acts and comedians, along with 3,416 production companies and workers also signed the letter.
