Zac Brown took to his social media just minutes ago (9/28) to announce that he has tested positive for COVID-19 and has stopped his current tour.

Zac posted to Instagram, "To all our fans, I have made the very difficult decision to pause Zac Brown Band’s 'The Comeback Tour.' Despite taking precautions, I’ve tested positive for COVID-19. I am deeply disappointed this has happened, as touring is our life and performing live for our fans is the best part of our job."

He added, "The bottom line is that I want to take every precaution to put the health and safety of our fans and crew first. We will resume the tour as soon as I have finished the CDC-mandated quarantine, and it is safe for our band members and crew to do so."

Brown concluded, "I am grateful to our fans for understanding this decision, as well as everyone on the front lines who can’t stay at home because their work is essential. I believe we can all overcome this together. As soon as we can, we’ll see you back out on the road again. Nothing’s better than the comeback. -Zac."

In the comments he specified, "Refunds can be issued at point of purchase for the following canceled shows:

9/30 - Clarkston, MI
10/1 - Burgettstown, PA
10/2 - Syracuse, NY
10/3 - Saratoga Springs, NY."
