Foo Fighters have announced that they are postponing their show at The Forum in Los Angeles as a member of their organisation has tested positive for coronavirus.
Dave Grohl and the gang were set to play the iconic venue's first full-capacity show since the pandemic, but will be announcing a new date ASAP rather than the planned date of July 17.
"Despite having made every effort to follow CDC COVID protocols and local laws, there has been a confirmed COVID-19 case within the Foo Fighters organisation," reads a statement.
