John Mayer recently revealed that his drummer Steve Ferrone has tested positive for Covid-19.
However, the development did not affect Mayer's performance at New York City's Madison Square Garden Monday night, as part of his "Sob Rock Tour."
"Tonight's concert @TheGarden will go on as scheduled, with a very special presentation. We all wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing you all at the show," Mayer wrote on social media.
It was the second of his two sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
In the middle of the concert, Myers broke more news - background vocalist Carlos Ricketts was also infected with the killer bug.
Questlove replaced Ferrone on the drums as a surprise.
After the show, Mayer wrote on Instagram, "Tonight's show was special in ways that I'm still processing. We send our love to @steve_ferrone and @made4good in hopes they traipse through Covid and return to the stage quickly."
"My boundless appreciation goes out to the legendary @questlove, who stepped in on an hour's notice to help end the show on such a powerful and definitive note," he added.
