“Today, just prior to leaving for Mexico, per his physician,@JohnMayer tested positive for COVID-19 and will be unable to perform at the upcoming “Playing in the Sand” event in Riviera Cancun January 7-10,” read a statement from the group.
Bob Weir added, “We came down here to have fun. Unfortunately, some of our brothers cannot make it but fun is what we’re going to have.”
The fest is happening both this weekend next so it is possible Mayer could be at the second weekend.
- As we previously told you, drummer Bill Kreutzmann announced earlier this week he was skipping the fest as he continues to recover from heart surgery.
