Slipknot singer Corey Taylor has contracted a breakthrough case of COVID-19 that's made him "very, very sick."

The musician, 47, was forced to call off his upcoming appearance at a Michigan pop culture convention this weekend after testing positive for the coronavirus, Rolling Stone reports. Taylor first shared the news in a video posted Friday on the Facebook page for Astronomicon, the event where he was scheduled to appear Saturday and Sunday.

"I wish I had better news. I woke up today and tested positive, and I'm very, very sick," he said. "So I'm not gonna be able to make it this weekend. And I am absolutely devastated. I am so sorry."

Taylor continued, "I hope everyone has a good time, and I promise you I will absolutely try to get back there as soon as I can."
