Friendship Day 2020: 10 Powerful Friendships in Music
They say that a friend in need, is a friend indeed. Well, in the cut-throat world of music, there’s nothing like a companion that you trust to share your woes with. In fact, someone to lean on is more a need than a want.
Friends keep us grounded, happy (a major need in 2020) and in the best of times, change our lives entirely. And, as Friendship Day makes its landing this year, we’re taking a look at some of the most powerful, true friendships in music today. Beware – these duos make one thing clear: no matter how busy you are, there’s always time for a friend.
