Jesy Nelsonfans will have to wait a bit longerr before seeing one of her first live performances since leavingLittle Mixlast year.
On Tuesday, the “Boyz” singer, 30, shared that she had been “feeling unwell” and tested positive forCOVIDand will be missing a radio show in Birmingham, U.K. on Saturday.
“Hey my lovelies after feeling unwell for the last few days, I’ve sadly tested positive for Covid which means I’m now self-isolating, following government guidelines,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “It means that I’m no longer able to perform at Hits Live in Birmingham this Saturday.”
She continued, “Apologies to any of my fans who bought tickets and I’m so sorry I can no longer be there. I hope you all have an amazing night, stay safe and I can’t wait to see you all soon love you all so much.”
It’s unclear whether Nelson is vaccinated against COVID-19, but she previously stated toVulturethat her “Boyz” collaboratorNicki Minaj’s vaccine hesitancy didn’t make her anxious “at all.” (They filmed a music video together for the controversial song.)
“Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. If Nicki feels like she hasn’t done her full research and she wants to know more about the vaccination, then that’s her opinion,” Nelson said in the interview in October. “She’s there to be on my song, to do her part. She’s literally made my song even better. That’s nothing to do with my song and what we’re doing together.”
