Less than a day after John Mayer tested positive for COVID-19, Dead & Company have canceled their Playing in the Sand destination event in Riviera Cancun, Mexico, which was due to start today.

An Instagram statement from the band, an offshoot of the Grateful Dead, reads: “Just prior to leaving for Mexico, per his physician, @JohnMayer tested positive for COVID-19 

The band posted the news on social media, writing that they and the promoters shut down the gathering “with much sadness and after great consideration of every possible scenario.” They say they “tried everything possible to bring normalcy and to deliver a great experience and amazing music, but with each day it became increasingly clear that canceling is the correct thing to do for the fans and for our crew.” They plan to e-mail refund details soon.
