After the video of the show with the empty audience went viral, the artists denied having “prepared the situation”. “Just as there are people without empathy on the Internet. There are people who say that it was on purpose, that it was a sound check. We were on stage, there were more or less 30 people on stage. Of course, we always want more followers , more engagement, but not like this.
