Country singer Brett Eldredge and bluegrass phenom Billy Strings have both had to cancel concerts as the Omicron variant surges.
A benefit for Nashville Rescue Mission, String the Halls was originally set for Dec. 17 and 18 at Marathon Music Works. Strings requested that fans who purchased donation items for the show take them directly to the shelter. He also promised to make show posters available for purchase, with proceeds benefiting the Nashville Rescue Mission.
Strings says he intends to play his New Year’s Eve run — Dec. 30, 31, and Jan. 1 — in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Meanwhile, singer Brett Eldredge postponed the Dec. 17 and 18 dates of his Glow Live holiday tour at the Chicago Theater after he himself tested positive.“Today has been a really rough day,” Eldredge said in an Instagram Live video on Thursday, explaining that he’d not been feeling well and took multiple Covid tests. “I decided to go check to see one last time to make sure it wasn’t Covid. And unfortunately, it turns out it was Covid, which really sucks.
Unlike Strings, Eldredge was able to reschedule both dates before the end of the year and will now perform the Chicago shows on Dec. 29 and 30. The cancellations come as the live entertainment industry begins to reckon with yet another Covid wave, this one caused by the highly transmissible Omicron variant. In New York, Radio City Music Hall canceled four performances of its Christmas show because of positive cases within the production, while Broadway shows likehave also had to scrap performances. On Thursday, Nashville reported its first confirmed case of Omicron. The city will host a massive New Year’s Eve concert on Dec.
