Volbeat drummer Jon Larsen has tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, the band will not be joining Ghost and Twin Temple during tonight’s (January 28) show in Boise, ID. The group will rejoin the tour in Portland, OR tomorrow night (January 29) with fill-in drummer Jon Dette (ex-Slayer).

Volbeat issued the following statement:

“Boise Volfam: unfortunately this morning Jon tested positive for COVID, so we will have to cancel our appearance tonight at Idaho Center. Jon is asymptomatic and feeling fine, so we’re hopeful he will be back behind the kit soon.

Ghost and Twin Temple are still playing, but refunds are available from your point of purchase if requested.

In the meantime, our great friend and amazing drummer Jon Dette is dropping everything to meet up with us in Portland and will be filling in until our Jon is cleared to return, so we can resume the tour tomorrow night.

Boise, we hope to be back soon. Please stay safe in the meantime!”

Ghost also commented:
