A number of other musicians have performed virtually during the coronavirus pandemic, which has shut down music venues across the globe. They include Pitbull, Chris Daughtry, Blake Shelton and Metallica.
"Tickets to My Downfall" features lead track "Bloody Valentine," which won Best Alternative at this year's MTV Video Music Awards. The album includes collaborations with Halsey, Trippie Redd, Iann Dior and Blackbear.
