How has the internet reacted to Tyler Hubbard and Florida Georgia Line's withdrawal from the 2020 CMA Awards? The outpouring of sympathy came quickly! "Get better buddy," commented the group, Little Big Town. "Glad you are feeling ok and I'm currently taking up a collection plate to send Hayley on a solo vacation after your quarantine," wrote Cassie Kelley, wife of Lady A's Charles Kelley.
As it turns out, Hubbard is the second scheduled CMA Awards performer to test positive for the virus recently and drop out of the show, according to Rolling Stone. Singer Lee Brice also received a COVID-19 diagnosis and was set to perform a duet with Carly Pearce, which will no longer happen either. "As you may have heard, unfortunately Lee Brice and Tyler Hubbard both tested positive for COVID-19 and are unable to join us for the CMA Awards on Wednesday night," the CMAs wrote in a statement, per USA Today. "Although this is incredibly disappointing...it does reassure us that our protocols are working. Our process enabled us to manage each situation immediately and before either artist ever entered our set. Most importantly, it prevented anyone else from being exposed."
Here's to Hubbard making a quick recovery!
