Luke Bryan revealed he “got COVID,” which prompted him to postpone or cancel some of his recent performances, and he said he’s still “not 100%” yet.

The five-time Entertainer of the Year shared more details with his crowd in Greenville, South Carolina. A fan-recorded video shared on TikTok showed Bryan telling the audience “three weeks ago, I got COVID.” Some concertgoers appeared to give a sympathetic “aw,” and others “booed.” Bryan said “you can ‘boo’ that sh*t all you want, but I got it. And I had to cancel some shows, and now I’m back.

“But I am not 100% because it’s still kicking my a**. And you know what? I don’t give a sh*t,” he continued. “When I can sing, I’m gonna sing, and when I can’t, y’all are gonna sing, alright? And you’re gonna see me hack. I can’t take any more medicine. I can’t do anything else but just try to breathe. Anyway, we’re gonna have fun tonight. We’re gonna make the most of it.”

Bryan shared earlier this month that “it really, really gets frustrating getting sick like that and losing my voice and having to take a couple weekends off.” He thanked his fans for their support, and thanked fellow country star Eric Church for stepping in last-minute to perform for Bryan at a few festivals in late June.

Bryan had to back out of the festival performances, and he rescheduled two of the stops on his headlining “Country Song Came On Tour”: Lafayette, Louisiana, now taking place on September 11, and Dallas, Texas, now taking place on September 12. Up-and-coming artists joining Bryan’s tour on select dates include George Birge, Avery Anna, Ashland Craft, Mae Estes, Cole Goodwin, Braxton Keith, Randall King, Vincent Mason, Drake Milligan, Adrien Nunez and Owen Riegling. DJ Rock will join all shows, per a press release issued when Bryan announced the tour earlier this year.
