As a wave of Omicron infections spreads rapidly across the globe, it seems no one is safe from the oncoming onslaught of illnesses — and the virus doesn't discriminate either: not even when it comes to end-of-year list dominators like Lil Nas X.
Earlier today the rapper seemed to confirm that he contracted the virus, sharing that the symptoms he was experiencing have "not been a fun journey," and writing somewhat comedically in a since-deleted tweet, "COVID really sucks. Last night I was tryna watch porn then I sneezed snot all over penis lmao."
Lil Nas's infection follows the announcement he would be pulling out of iHeartMedia's Jingle Ball Tour due to close contact exposure. Similarly, Doja Cat and members of Coldplay's teams also recently tested positive for COVID, causing them to cancel their upcoming holiday shows.
At this point, it may be easier to list the celebrities and musicians who haven't caught COVID. Though a high-profile case like Lil Nas's makes the transmissibility of the current variant of concern feel even more serious.
Today, the rate of infections in Ontario and Quebec has sparked a wave of concert cancellations, as the provinces anticipate even more restrictions on venues and other large-capacity businesses. See our list of rescheduled and cancelled Canadian concerts here — and please, go get vaccinated.
