Hey Roadies and others:
If you were at the IBMA Awards, especially if you attended the Red Carpet reception beforehand, you might want to take a Covid test as, very unfortunately, IBMA Awards Ceremony host and award nominee, Steve Martin has come down with COVID.
He probably got it at an Emmy’s gala event earlier this month so no one can blame IBMA… I don’t think.
(Becky Buller asked: “It was the bluegrass, wasnt it?”) 🤣
He’s had to cancel a couple of his shows with Martin Short.
Well, anyway, he was at the Red Carpet reception, which was packed, doing an interview less than ten feet from where I was standing so since I was feeling a little scratchy in the throat, today, I figured I’d take a Covid test.
Just to make sure.
Negative.
Whew! Sorry Mr. Martin has to go through that. He’s 80 years old and a national treasure so he needs to be careful!
Hope you feel better, soon, Steve!
Everybody take care of yourselves!
Steve Martin has canceled two comedy tour stops over the weekend after contracting COVID, the Only Murders in the Building star shared on Instagram.
