Musician "Weird Al" Yankovic has delayed this week's Michigan tour stops after being diagnosed with COVID-19.

For now, Yankovic's tour is set to resume Saturday in Nashville, Tennessee.
Existing tickets will be honored for his new Saginaw and Detroit concerts, both to be rescheduled. Refunds can be obtained from the point of purchase.
Yankovic has been on the road with an outing dubbed the Unfortunate Return of the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour, focusing on his own original material.
So… I’ve got COVID. Don’t worry, I’m fine - I’m vaxxed and double-boosted and the symptoms are very mild. But of course this means I unfortunately need to cancel the next couple dates on my tour (Saginaw & Detroit). I’m deeply sorry - we will reschedule those shows ASAP.
