Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Rickey Medlocke tested positive for Covid-19, forcing the band to back out of Monday night’s Pro Football Hall of Fame concert. The band were set to co-headline with Brad Paisley at the event, but opener Jimmy Allen is now expected to extend his set. In a statement from the band, Medlocke is said to be “home resting and responding well to treatment.”

Lynyrd Skynyrd have been forced to cancel shows in Mississippi and Alabama and have rescheduled their August 13 show to October 23.

Do you think bands are trying their best to be careful right now? When do you think concerts will truly be back to normal?
