Over half the band has f...... covid (not me), and before u s... for brains bloggers and media trolls run your mouths, many of them, like me, have been vaccinated. I was gonna come and rock the house anyway, play acoustic, DJ or even just Juggle…. Deez Nutz!! - or at least try to entertain u good folks. But seriously, s... is way out of my hands on this one. 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.”
The star also mentioned the ongoing situation in Afghanistan.
“PS - God bless our military, especially those who lost their lives today in Afghanistan. I am way more upset about that than some stupid virus and missing a couple shows. My heart bleeds for them and their loved ones. I hope we bomb the shit out of those f.... and send a clear message…But I am worried Biden is too much of a woke p..... Say a prayer for the fallen, count your blessings and God Bless America,” the post continued.
