Sevendust guitarist John Connolly was forced to miss the band’s recent shows in Buffalo, NY and Asbury Park, NJ after being exposed to COVID-19. Fortunately, he has since tested negative and will be returning to the stage soon.
Connolly commented:
“To the Sevendust family-
I had to do something this week that I have never had to do in my whole career – I had to miss a Sevendust show. In all of our years as a band, I have performed in every Sevendust concert played. Sadly, I had to miss last night and tonight.
As people that follow my social media know, I have been training for my upcoming New York City marathon. During one of those sessions, I was exposed to COVID.. To prevent any possible exposure from myself to my bandmates: Lajon, Clint, Vinnie, Morgan, our crew, Alter Bridge and Mammoth WVH and their teams, local staff and attendees – I made the decision to sit out the first 2 shows.
I was watching tonight’s show via FaceTime and my Sevendust brothers sounded great. I feel fine and am now testing negative. I am all packed and ready to board my plane tomorrow to meet up with everyone and I’ll be back rocking with you all soon.
– John Connolly”
