The 54th Annual CMA Awards will broadcast live from Nashville’s Music City Center this week on November 11, but unfortunately, the big festivities will go down without one of the biggest names in country music.
According to reporting from Variety, a rep for Lee Brice shared the 41-year-old artist had tested positive for coronavirus.
Despite the unfortunate diagnosis so close to showtime, the I Don’t Dance singer is reportedly “in good spirits and not experiencing any symptoms.” Before contracting COVID-19, he was slated to perform alongside Carly Pearce, as both singers are nominated in the Music Video of the Year and Musical Event of the Year categories for their hit, I Hope You’re Happy Now.
