Eric Church wants to make sure his fans feel conformable when they come back to see him in concert, which is why he isn’t likely to be rushing back on tour.

“When people come back, they have to feel that it’s okay to be there, that they can experience it the way they want to experience it,” Eric tells the Associated Press. “They should be able to go up and throw their arms around the person next to them. They should not be scared about being three feet away and not six.”

And for Eric, that may mean a wait for a vaccine. “For me, I think it’s summer or fall of ’21,” he shares. “I am going on the promise of a vaccine. I’m going on the possibility of a therapeutic that could change the game.”

Before the quarantine, Eric spent a month in a makeshift studio in North Carolina where he wrote and recorded 28 songs. “I don’t know if this is an album, if it’s two albums, if it’s three,” he says. “I feel confident enough with the material that people will get to hear all of these songs at some point.”
