In the caption of a photo posted on Instagram, Pantera confirmed that Rex Brown has COVID and will not participate in the remainder of the shows in Latin America.
The bassist was absent from Knotfest Chile and was replaced by Derek Engemann of Cattle Decapitation . In an initial statement, the event organizers said Brown was experiencing "health issues," but local radio station Futuro reported that the musician had COVID and had traveled back to the United States.
In an Instagram post, Pantera included a note written by Rex Brown himself: “I caught a very mild variant of Covid, but due to our protocols I don’t want to risk my brothers and our team getting sick! I’m feeling better and should have a quick recovery. Merry Christmas to all and see you next year!”
Pantera is coming to Brazil without Rex Brown to perform at Knotfest and also in a show with Judas Priest , both in São Paulo. Tickets are on sale.
