This is a bit off topic, but I've always kinda wondered where the line is with singers providing their own PAs and Mics.
As keyboard players we are required to have our boards, stands, and sometimes amps.
Guitar/Bass players have to have their guitars, amps, and pedals. Drummers have to have their drums, stands, cymbals, and sometimes even drum mics.
However, it seems like pure singers seem to get off not having any equipment at all a lot of times. I understand those people who sing and play, but it seems like if the person is just a singer they should have their own stuff.
I understand that back in the day PA gear was expensive, but now days a loud PA is cheaper than what a lot of the other people in the band usually are paying for their gear.
