LAMB OF GOD vocalist Randy Blythe will now miss the band’s concert tonight (Tuesday, April 19) in Grand Rapids, Michigan due to testing positive for COVID-19.
Randy will be temporarily replaced by CHIMAIRA frontman Mark Hunter and “a few friends”.
Earlier today, LAMB OF GOD released the following statement via social media: “Grand Rapids – Randy Blythe tested positive for COVID over the weekend and has been isolating away from the rest of the band. While his symptoms have been mild and he’s on the mend, he will not be able to perform tonight at the Van Andel Arena. However, the show will go on! We are working to put together a special show with our brother Mark Hunter from CHIMAIRA taking over the mic and a few friends helping out as well. We’ll see you tonight!”
The group added: “We are hopeful [Randy] will be able to return later this week and will update as soon as we can.”
LAMB OF GOD are currently on the road with MEGADETH as part of “The Metal Tour Of The Year” with TRIVIUM and IN FLAMES.
