The singer further wrote that despite taking all the precautions, he has tested positive for COVID-19 and he feels "deeply disappointed this has happened."

The "Goodbye In Her Eyes" singer explained how important it is for him and his band to perform live ever since they dropped their debut single in 2003.

"Touring is our life and performing live for our fans is the best part of our job," he explained. "The bottom line is that I want to take every precaution to put the health and safety of our fans and crew first," he said.

"I believe we can all overcome this together," he concluded. "As soon as we can, we’ll see you back out on the road again. Nothing’s better than the comeback," the singer added.

Fans took to the comments section to share their reaction.

One of the fans hoped that the band would still be able to perform writing, "Oh no! Hope you feel better soon!!! Hoping your 10 days started today and you can still make it to West Palm Beach on October 9th!!"

Another fan wrote, "Well, that’s awful. I hope you feel better. But damn. The last ZBB concert in Michigan was canceled due to March 2020 covid 3 days before. Now MI again 2 days before. I’m so bummed."

The band consists of artists Jimmy De Martini, John Driskell Hopkins, Coy Bowles, Chris Fryar, Clay Cook, Matt Mangano and Daniel De Los Reyes. The tour was originally scheduled to begin on Sept. 30 and end on Nov. 21.
