“Hey, buddies. It finally happened. I have the COVID,” she says in the video. “So I won’t be able to come to Stagecoach. Argh, it’s horrible. I’m a few days in and I have a chest infection, but I think I turned a corner today and I’m starting to feel a little better.
“I just wanted to let everybody know that I’m devastated to be missing you and I hope you have a wonderful time out there with all my friends,” she adds. “See you on the other side of this trash.”
