Kid Rock cancelled two shows in Fort Worth, Texas and he’s not happy about it. “I am pissed. Over half the band has fucking COVID.” the singer tweeted Thursday, clarifying that he hasn’t gotten the virus. “And before u [sic] shit for brains bloggers and media trolls run your mouths, many of them, like me, have been vaccinated.” The singer, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, previously bragged about playing for a “packed house” in Sturgis, South Dakota in early August.

In a stunning blow to tens of fans, Kid Rock has canceled his concerts due to most of the band getting covid.
