The Zac Brown band allegedly paused their trip after it was revealed that the lead singer has contracted Covid-19.
Brown stated on Instagram, “Despite taking precautions, I’ve tested positive for COVID-19. I am deeply disappointed this has happened as touring is our life and performing live for our fans is the best part of our job,”
According to the band’s statement, the shows that they canceled include the one that was scheduled for “Sept. 30th, Clarkston, Michigan, Oct. 1 in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, Oct 2 in Syracuse, New. York; and Oct. 3 in Saratoga Springs, New York”. They also added that the attendees could get a full refund on their tickets.
They assured their fans that the band would resume their concerts “as soon as I have finished the CDC-mandated quarantine and it is safe for our band members and crew to do so.”
Americans got to enjoy a brief period of fun events before the Covid cases spiked, and then things started to slip back to how they were when the pandemic began.
In response to the sudden surge in Covid cases, AEG and Live Nation mandated the vaccination requirement for their concert attendees beginning from Oct.
Amid the delta variant, when everything is being rescheduled, some movies release dates have also started to reshuffle.
As the government prohibits the outdoor event, here’s a list of concerts and movies canceled this year.
