I suppose it depends
just how 'good' they are. Elton John did a concert at Watford FC and gave some of the profits to the club; I believe over £200,000. (Might be tabloid hype).
I did the rounds as a singer for over 20 years and my total profits amount to about 25 pence.

Not just how good, but how established.
If you're just starting out, the chance that you'll make anything approaching a living from live appearances and merch is vanishingly small. And if people risk bankrupting themselves as a means to get established, how many will stick around - or even get started?

It was just pin money
to make ends meet. I had a proper job too. I've only recently discovered trying art, and again because I enjoy it, not because it pays.
