Aww, Kid Rock has to cancel shows in Fort Worth. Band has Covid.

Funny thing is, Billy Bob’s caught a lot of flack (in certain circles) for hosting the “must be vaccinated to attend” Jason Isbell concert.

FORT WORTH, Texas - Kid Rock’s shows at Billy Bob’s Texas this weekend have been canceled after he said "over half" of his band members have COVID-19.

In a series of tweets, Kid Rock said he was not among those who tested positive for the virus, and added that many of his band members had been vaccinated.

"I am beyond upset and you real ones know I would never cancel if I absolutely didn’t have too. For this, I am sorry," he said in one of his tweets.

Earlier this month, Billy Bob's hosted a Jason Isbell concert that required those who attended to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or show proof of a negative COVID-19 test.

Thoughts and prayers that they all gain some understanding so they can try to be better people (if they survive).

I'm not going to be sad if they get severe cases.

If they're going to get all jelly-legged by this hoax, what do you need them for? Shitcan the lot of them! That'll teach them a lesson.

The only thing surprising about this development is that it happened to his band before Nugent.

How big exactly is Skid Jock's band?

Curious as to whether there's any intersection between these two populations ... can we get a Venn diagram, by chance?

As an aside, happy to hear that Jason Isbell is requiring audience proof of vax for shows he's doing.

He’s requiring proof of vaccination or negative test within 48 hrs AND everyone has to wear masks. You still couldn’t pay me to go, but I commend him for taking it seriously.
