Wylie Miller's life change in an instant when cruise ships, crowds and stages fell silent. Today, theage launched the first in a series by henriettacook and ClayLucas profiling people whose lives have been upended by the pandemic.

Wylie Miller was performing on a cruise ship when the pandemic upended his life.

Miller has been offered his old job back, but the conditions have deteriorated. His pay has been halved and, he’s been asked to work on the cruise ship six days a week for three months at a time. Previously, he worked on the ship for no longer than two weeks at a time.
