Singer, songwriter, and producer Guy Sebastian has recently announced that he has tested positive for COVID-19, dismissing his court appearances as well as planned tour dates.
In a recent social media post, the former Australian Idol winner revealed that he was “absolutely gutted” by his positive COVID-19 test result and the consequences it would have on his up and coming national tour – the shows he has scheduled in Cairns and Townsville next week needed to be rescheduled due to his test result.
“I am so sorry to disappoint my fans, and I promise to do something even more special once I’m able to perform as a thank-you for your patience and understanding,” he said in a statement.
ABC also confirms that Guy was set to go back to the stand on Thursday in the trial of Titus Emanuel Day, who is reportedly accused of stealing $900,000 from Guy; however, the hearing was adjourned after Judge Peter Zahra suddenly felt sick.
Tour managing director Tim McGregor advised that next week’s shows would have to be rescheduled due to the COVID-19 situation. However, ticket holders will be notified shortly of the new dates.
“Touring in these times is certainly challenging,” he quipped.
“We look forward to getting the show back on the road as soon as possible.”
He also mentioned that all other shows remained on schedule, with the national tour set to resume on the Gold Coast on May 13.
