Vanilla Ice Cancels Austin Concert
After taking a lot of criticism for his concert in Austin, Texas that was scheduled for tomorrow, Vanilla Ice took to social media to announce that he won’t be playing the show.
Due to the increase in COVID-19 numbers in Austin we’re gonna move the concert to a better date. We were hoping for better Coronavirus numbers by July but Unfortunately the numbers have increased quite a bit so for the safety and health of everyone we’re going to stay home. pic.twitter.com/MWWfNWf3zd

According to ABC News 10, Vanilla Ice (real name: Rob Van Winkle) tweeted, “I take the coronavirus serious. But we can’t live in a bubble. I think at this point we all understand the severity of it. practice social distancing and wear a mask. This is an outside venue, Fourth of July on the lake with fireworks. Plenty of room for distancing.” He has since deleted that tweet.
Color Me Badd is still scheduled to play the venue this weekend.
